Reports revealed that Kumar would walk into government offices and would demand a priority appointment with the official by flashing his visiting card which had Modi’s room number as his address.
Kanhaiya Kumar used to take favours for the officials working under the bureaucrat he would meet.
Kumar drove an SUV which had a Government of India (GOI) sticker pasted to it.
Reports said that Kumar even asked the Central Vigilance Commissioner (CVC) to help an Indian Defence Accounts Services officer secure a preferential post. The CVC contacted PMO and confirmed his appointment in the office.

The police are also investigating Kumar’s friend in Hyderabad who got the visiting cards printed.
