The CBI has summoned Kolkata police commissioner Rajeev Kumar to appear for questioning on February 9 in Shillong.

The Supreme Court had directed Kumar to appear before the CBI while restricting the agency from taking any coercive action.

CBI sources said they would grill Kumar on the documents, pen drives, hard drives and statements of various people which were not provided by the West Bengal SIT, headed by him before the probe was transferred to the central agency.

The agency has claimed that the SIT deliberately hid or destroyed crucial evidence in the multi-crore Saradha and Rose Valley scams, in which several Trinamool Congress leaders are under the scanner.

The agency on Thursday attached 10 officers from its Delhi, Bhopal and Lucknow units to its Kolkata office till February 20 to provide additional manpower during questioning of some high-profile suspects, including Kumar.

A team of superintendent of police Jagroop S Gusinha from its special unit in New Delhi accompanied by additional SP V M Mittal, Surendra Kumar Malik, Chander Deep, DSPs Atul Hajela, Alok Kumar Sahi and P K Srivastava, inspectors Hari Shankar Chand, Ritesh Danhi and Surajit Das will camp in Kolkata, an official order said.

It said these officers will be temporarily attached to CBI, EO-IV, Kolkata. They have been asked to reach Kolkata by Friday and will be stationed there tentatively up to February 20.
