In a surprise move, former Kolkata Police Commissioner Rajeev Kumar has been made the new Principal Secretary in the state Information Technology Department by the West Bengal government.
In an order issued late Thursday night, the controversial IPS officer was given his new assignment – a post which is normally the preserve of IAS cadre officers.
Kumar, considered a ‘blue-eyed boy’ of Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, has been under the CBI scanner in connection with its probe into the multi-billion rupee Ponzi scam.
