Special CBI Judge Santosh Snehi Mann remanded Kumar to the custody of CBI, which had sought ten days of custodial interrogation of the accused official alleging that it has recovered incriminating documents after raiding his office and residence.
The probe agency has claimed that Kumar was part of an extortion racket being run in the garb of investigation.
Kumar's counsel, however, opposed the submission and moved a bail plea before the court.
CBI has also sought the court's nod to add some more sections in the present FIR against accused including Kumar.
Kumar was arrested yesterday.
