Kumar urged the police to summon them to disclose the factual basis of their allegations, the source of their information and any documents or material supporting their claims. “The allegations made by the above named and other persons lead one to believe that they are acquainted with the facts and circumstances of the case," the letter said. Referring to their public statements, Kumar said Priyanka Gandhi questioned whether junior employees alone could have switched off CCTV cameras and manipulated offerings worth thousands of crores, or whether influential people are involved. Kumar said Kejriwal alleged that about Rs 200 crore in cash, besides Lord Ram’s garland, charan padukas, diamonds, jewellery, silver bricks and lamps, have allegedly been stolen, and questioned the silence of the Uttar Pradesh Police, the ED and the CBI. Kumar said in order to ensure a fair, comprehensive and impartial investigation, it would be appropriate to require the attendance of the aforesaid persons under the applicable provisions of law, or otherwise record their statements so that they could disclose the factual basis of their allegations, the source of their information and all documents or other material in their possession supporting such allegations. “Should any of the aforesaid persons furnish credible material in support of their allegations, the same would undoubtedly assist the investigating agency in discovering the truth," the letter said.
