Kolkata, Sep 14 (TIWN) With over four hours elapsing after the CBI-ordained scheduled time for his appearance in connection with the Ponzi scam probe, senior IPS officer Rajeev Kumar was yet to appear before the agency on Saturday with police sources claiming he was at his Park Street residence here consulting lawyers.

Soon after the Calcutta High Court on Friday withdrew interim protection from arrest given to the former Kolkata Police Commissioner in the Saradha chit fund scam case, Cental Bureau of Investigation officials reached his official residence here and served him summons to appear before the agency at 10 AM on Saturday.  The CBI officers, led by a joint director, were waiting for Kumar at the CGO complex with a set of questions to grill him as part of the probe.
