A Central Bureau of Investigation team from New Delhi has arrived at the agency's office in Shillong to question Kolkata Police Commissioner Rajeev Kumar in connection with Saradha chit fund scam.

Kumar has also arrived at the CBI office for his questioning.

Kumar reached Shillong, Meghalaya's capital city, on Friday to face questioning for his alleged role in destroying evidence in the Saradha chit fund scam, an official said in Shillong.

He is accompanied by three IPS officers of the Kolkata police.

"Kumar has been lodged in a top hotel in the city. The state police is giving security cover to him," the senior Home Department official told PTI.

The Supreme Court on Tuesday directed the Kolkata Police commissioner to appear before the CBI and 'faithfully' cooperate into the investigation of cases arising out of the Saradha chit fund scam, while making it clear that he will not be arrested.   -- PTI/ANI
