CBI court in Coimbatore issues non-bailable warrant against T.N. IPS officer Pramod Kumar

The special court for the trial of cases investigated by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in Coimbatore, on Wednesday, issued a non-bailable warrant (NBW) against IPS officer Pramod Kumar in an extortion case pending against him since 2012, which is linked to the multi-crore Paazee forex scam.

The Second Additional District Court in Coimbatore, which is handling CBI cases, issued the warrant against Kumar after he failed to appear for a hearing on Wednesday.

The court sources said that four other accused in the case— N. Rajendran, who worked as deputy superintendent of police at Tiruppur town; V. Mohanraj who was inspector of Central Crime Branch at Tiruppur; John Prabakar alias Annachi, a friend of the IPS officer from Mylapore; and N. Senthil Kumar, a resident of Tiruppur,— appeared for the hearing on Wednesday.
