MEA official divested of charge

New Delhi: Senior IFS official Rakesh Kumar, allegedly involved in a case of human trafficking to Germany, has been divested of his charge as Special Secretary, Economic Relations, in the External Affairs Ministry.

Rinzing Wangdi, a 1971 batch IFS officer, took charge as Secretary (Economic Relations) on Monday, official sources said here on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, Mr. Kumar, a 1972 batch IFS officer, continued to play hide and seek with the CBI. The family had informed the CBI on Monday that he had left for Rishikesh to ``recuperate'' after he had got himself hospitalised for nearly a fortnight in Munich, Germany.

The External Affairs Ministry had served the notice sent by the CBI at his residence and directed him to make himself available for questioning.

The CBI team had also served a notice directly at his South Delhi residence on Monday under Section 160 Cr.PC under which he was directed to produce himself for questioning.

The CBI had registered an FIR against Mr.Kumar and three others after nine of the 15-member dance troupe went missing upon their arrival in Berlin. — PTI
