Calcutta HC grants anticipatory bail to Rajeev Kumar

In a major jolt to the CBI, the Calcutta High Court on Tuesday granted anticipatory bail to senior IPS officer Rajeev Kumar in the Saradha ponzi scam case.

The Division Bench of the high court asked Kumar to furnish a personal bond of Rs 50,000 and a surety in order to get the relief.

The bench of Justices S. Munshi and S. Dasgupta also ordered Kumar to present himself before the Central Bureau of Investigation whenever they summoned him for questioning relating to the multi-crore scam probe.

At the same time, the court asked the probe agency to give a 48-hour notice to Kumar whenever they want to question him.
