Kolkata: West Bengal Governor K.N. Tripathi has submitted a report to Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh on the situation that unfolded in the city after a CBI team was allegedly obstructed by the police from questioning Kolkata Police chief Rajeev Kumar in the Saradha scam, Raj Bhavan sources said Monday.
The contents of the report were, however, not immediately known.
“The governor has submitted his report to the MHA (Ministry of Home Affairs). Today, in the morning, he spoke to Union Home Minister Rajanth Singh,” sources told PTI.
The report was prepared by combining the report of the Subsidiary Intelligence Bureau and the reports submitted to the governor by the state chief secretary and the home secretary late Sunday night, the sources said.
In an unprecedented development, a number of CBI officers, who had gone to question Rajeev Kumar in connection with chit fund scam cases, were bundled into police jeeps, whisked to a police station and briefly detained on Sunday.
Hours after the incident, Mamata Banerjee began a sit-in right to protest “insults” she faced at the hands of PM Narendra Modi and BJP chief Amit Shah and claimed the CBI knocked on the doors of Kumar without a search warrant.
