With former Kolkata Police Commissioner Rajiv Kumar — being probed in the Sharada and other chit fund cases — still remaining untraceable with the Central Bureau of Investigation hot in pursuit the investigating agency on Thursday subjected another IPS officer and Kumar’s one-time deputy Arnab Ghosh to a marathon 10-hour grilling.
Ghosh who reportedly would not cooperate with his investigators giving evasive response on a number of questions had been asked to come once again for questioning on Thursday.
The IPS officer who as the Deputy Commissioner of Detective Department at Bidhannagar Police Commissionerate was part of the Special Investigation Team constituted by Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee soon after the chit fund bubble burst in 2013 had conducted raids into bank lockers and other places owned by the chit fund companies.
Ghosh was functioning under Kumar who was the head of t he SIT until the case was transferred to the CBI by the Supreme Court.
