CBI seeks files plea seeking initiation of contempt of court proceedings against Kolkata officials, including top cop Rajeev Kumar, for obstructing chit fund probe, seeks urgent hearing 

CBI in its petition says Kolkata Police Commissioner Rajeev Kumar was summoned multiple times but failed to cooperate and created hurdles in the investigation.

Inside the courtroom, Solicitor General Tushar Mehta representing CBI:

"We were ready to move Supreme Court at night. Electronic evidence are being destroyed. Summons were issued to Rajeev Kumar, he’s a potential accused and he has not responded to them. Two applications were made by us - tampering of evidence and a contempt plea. 

"Rajeev Kumar is a potential accused.

"Uniformed officers sat on dharna with a political party."

SG Tushar Mehta asked for the case to be taken up on Monday at 2 pm. He said that the evidence are being destroyed.

Solicitor General Mehta submits before Supreme Court, 'Our team was arrested and kept in alleged custody. Kolkata Police Commissioner should immediately surrender."

Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi after hearing CBI plea says:

"It’s electronic evidence (in Saradha scam), it can be retrieved. If you can put any piece of evidence that Rajeev Kumar is doing something, we will come down very heavily on him. During the course of the day you’re free to come to us with any evidence."

Abhishek Manu Singhvi who is representing West Bengal government argues that there is no FIR against Kumar.

CJI lists the matter for Tuesday at 10.30 am.
