The material makes for a strong prima facie case against Kumar under Prevention of Corruption Act, the affidavit stated. The CBI also claims that Saradha and Rose Valley had flourishing business between 2012 and 2015 — the same period when Kumar was Commissioner of Police at Bidhan Nagar. The investigating agency claimed to have in its possession correspondence between senior police officers and politicians to disclose the nexus that aided the chit fund scam. It was only later when CBI was probing another FIR in Odisha against Rose Valley that it came to light. When CBI obtained original CDRs from the service providers, they discovered that the CDR supplied by Kumar was either doctored or tampered.
