ED alleges 'fabrication' of court order by Kolkata Police, FIR registered

Kolkata (West Bengal) [India], April 29 (ANI): The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has accused the Kolkata Police of forgery and fabrication of a court order.

According to sources, ED officials have given a complaint to the Delhi police. On the complaint of ED, Delhi police registered a complaint on April 20.

In the FIR registered by the Delhi Police, ED officials claimed that the court order was tampered with in a bid to make ED Joint Director Kapil Raj provide a voice sample without his consent.

Chief Judicial Magistrate's court in Alipore had, last month, asked Raj to appear before the Kolkata Police and provide a voice sample to investigators, with his consent.

ED officials claim that the text of the order, provided to the central agency by the Kolkata Police, deleted the reference to consent -- a ruse, they allege, to compel Raj to comply with their wishes.

The Kolkata Police is yet to comment on the allegation. (ANI)
