Karnataka Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy has accused the BJP of trying to destabilize the Congress-JD(S) government in the state after former Karnataka minister and Congress MLA R Roshan Baig was detained by a Special Investigation Team in connection with the IMA money laundering case from Kempegowda International Airport in a late-night swoop.
Baig was about to leave Bengaluru on a private aircraft on Monday evening when he was detained for questioning, sources said. A former minister in the previous Siddaramaiah government, Baig landed in the IMA controversy after prime accused Mansoor Khan alleged that Baig took Rs 400 crore from him but did not return it.
