The Supreme Court on Tuesday had directed the Kolkata Police chief to appear before the CBI and \"faithfully\" cooperate in the investigation of cases arising out of the Saradha chit fund scam.

The Supreme Court on Tuesday directed Kumar to make himself available before the CBI and \"faithfully\" cooperate with the agency in investigation of cases arising out of the Saradha chit fund scam probe.

The unprecedented development was sparked off by the CBI's attempt to question Kolkata Police chief Rajeev Kumar in connection with the Saradha and Rose Valley chit fund scams.

Rose Valley scam was even bigger than the Saradha scam and as per ED estimates Rs 17,520 crore was reportedly raised from investors across India.

The standoff between Mamata Banerjee-led West Bengal government and the central government started after the CBI reached Kolkata Police Commissioner Rajeev Kumar's residence on Sunday to question him on the scam.

A virtual showdown ensued as Kolkata Police personnel forcefully took away some of the CBI officers to a nearby police station amid commotion.
