The Special Investigation Team (SIT) probing the alleged IMA group ponzi scam, Tuesday served a notice to Congress MLA Roshan Baig, asking him to appear before it on Thursday.
This comes hours after the Shivajinagar MLA resigned from the assembly.The lawmaker was earlier suspended from the Congress for his alleged anti-party activities. "Yes. We have served a notice," an investigating officer of the SIT told PTI.
The ponzi scheme operator and owner of IMA jewels Mohammed Mansoor Khan, who has fled to an unknown destination, had in an audio message accused Baig of taking Rs 400 crore from him and not refunding it.
Baig had refuted the allegation, saying the statement was "frivolous, baseless and mischievous." The MLA also saw his name being dragged in the case as a fallout with his adversaries in the Congress party.
