NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Friday vacated its order granting protection from arrest to former Kolkata police commissioner Rajeev Kumar in the Saradhascam case but granted the ex-top cop seven days to seek legal remedy.A bench headed by Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi also expressed concern over the manner in which the chit fund scam case has panned out while vacating its February 5 order granting interim protection from arrest to Kumar.The bench had on March 30, asked the CBI to show materials and satisfy the court on its plea for the custodial interrogation of Kumar. CBI had filed the plea seeking direction to withdraw its February 5 order granting protection to Kumar from the arrest which the SC vacated today.In effect, the CBI will be able to approach Kumar to interrogate him for his alleged role in destroying evidence in the Saradha chit fund case but only after seven days. For seven days, Kumar will continue to be under interim protection, during this time Kumar can approach the competent court for legal remedy.The investigative agency, represented by Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, had argued that Kumar's custodial interrogation was required to probe the larger conspiracy to investigate Kumar and other police officials' role in causing disappearance and destruction of evidence in the case and also to unravel the nexus between directors of Saradha Group and politicians. Senior advocate Abhishek Manu Singhvi, representing Kumar and state of West Bengal, had denied the allegations.Kumar had earlier appeared before CBI officials for questioning in Shillong as per the Supreme Court order but the probe agency said that he remained elusive, did not assist in making available crucial evidence in the chit fund cases neither disclosed any crucial information he was privy to.An unprecedented chain of events unfolded on February 3 when a CBI team was detained by Kolkata Police when it reached Kumar's residence to question him. It was followed by West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee 's visit to the officer's home. The CBI officers were taken to a police station and released later.Read this story in Bengali
