India's Central Bureau of Investigation is looking into the bank account details of the BSF commandant Satish Kumar who has been arrested for his alleged involvement in cattle smuggling to Bangladesh.

CBI lawyer Kali Charan Mishra said, "The probe agency is examining all financial aspects but nothing specific can be said right now."

The commandant's lawyer Shekhar Kundu termed the charges against Kumar as "unfounded", reports our New Delhi correspondent.

They said CBI has sought the court's permission to probe the bank account details of Satish Kumar's father-in-law which were allegedly used to park the money from Haque.

The commandant was produced before a special CBI court yesterday which remanded him to CBI custody for 14 days.
