New Delhi, July 25: Waking ahead in a recent development to the IMA Ponzi scheme scam case probe, the Special Investigation Team on Thursday issued a notice to the Karnataka’s outgoing Minister B Z Zameer Ahmed Khan and CA Iqbal Khan, accused of being a part to loot thousands of poor Muslims.
The Minister, as per the statement released by the ED, has been asked to appear before the investigation officer as part of the probe on July 29.
CA Khan had been working as an auditor at IMA for many years where he allegedly showed wrong accounts to the public as well as to the Income Tax Department and the Registrar of Companies, further giving the impression that the company was making profits.
Meanwhile, the SIT has also summoned Chamarajpet legislator and his Shivajinagar counterpart R Roshan Baig for questioning at different timings on Monday.
Before fleeing the country IMA founder-owner Mansoor Khan had on June 7 released an audio clipping accusing Baig of not returning 400 crore he had borrowed from him. Following this, the SIT had detained Baig from Kempegowda International Airport on July 15 and released him the next morning after directing him to appear before the SIT on July 19.
Baig had appeared for questioning and submitted relevant documents to the SIT. However, Khan who is in ED custody is being interrogated about IMA's transactions with other companies and individuals since its inception in 2006.
