After a special court refused to hear his plea on Tuesday, former Kolkata Police chief Rajeev Kumar moved Barasat District Sessions Court for an anticipatory bail in the multi-crore Saradha chit fund scam case.

District Sessions Judge S Rashidi is likely to hear Kumar's plea in the post-lunch session. One of the lawyers of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) present in the court said the agency will oppose Kumar's anticipatory bail petition.
