SC to hear tomorrow CBI's plea against Kolkata Police officers for obstructing probe in Saradha case

The Supreme Court will hear tomorrow CBI's plea alleging contempt against Kolkata Police officers for obstructing the probe and for the destruction of evidence in Saradha case.

The agency today moved the Supreme Court, seeking directions to the West Bengal government to cooperate with the investigation in the chit fund cases, and has sought to make available Police Commissioner Rajeev Kumar.

Solicitor General Tushar Mehta,



appearing for CBI, told the Supreme Court bench that an “extraordinary situation” has arisen and sought urgent hearing today afternoon. The Court, however, fixed the hearing for tomorrow.
