Anuj Sharma, a 1991 batch IPS officer, has
taken over from Rajeev Kumar as the new police chief of Kolkata. Earlier, he
was the Additional Director General (law and order) of West Bengal Police. Rajeev Kumar, who was questioned by the CBI
in connection with the Saradha and Rose Valley scam cases, was transferred as
Additional Director General (ADG) and Inspector General of Police (IGP) Crime
Investigation Department or CID. He was the police chief of Kolkata for three
years and his transfer was due before the general elections scheduled in May. The change of guard in Kolkata Police comes
just days after Rajeev Kumar returned from Shillong, after a five-day grilling
by the CBI in the chit fund scam.
