Bengaluru: Sources said that the SIT has asked Shivajinagar MLA Roshan Baig who was suspended from the Congress, to appear before it for hearing in the IMA multi-crore scam.

The SIT has issued notice to Baig to attend the hearing on July 11. But Baig did not appear for hearing citing ill-health reason. So, the SIT has directed the leader to appear for hearing on July 15 compulsorily, sources said.

It is said that before fleeing from the country, IMA chief Mansoor Khan, in his video, mentioned the name of Roshan Baig and other issues.

Hemant Nimbalkar report?

It is said that ACB IGP Hemant Nimbalkar had given a favourable report to the IMA company. 

In 2017, the RBI general manager had written a letter to the Revenue department principal secretary. Then the government had asked the Bengaluru urban Deputy Commissioner to investigate about it and it was handed over to then CID (economic crimes) IG Hemant Nimbalkar who had given a favourable report about the company.

Lucknow (PTI): Kolkata Knight Riders edged Lucknow Super Giants via Super Overs in a battle between two bottom-placed teams in the IPL, here on Sunday.

Chasing a modest 156, LSG suffered a batting collapse and managed to tie the contest and take it to Super Over with No. 9 Mohammed Shami striking a last-ball six against a wayward Kartik Tyagi, who leaked 16 runs in the final over.

But Sunil Narine bowled a stunning Super Over conceding just one run and taking two wickets to give KKR an easy target.

Rinku Singh then finished the chase with a boundary off first ball from Prince Yadav.

Earlier the KKR were in deep trouble with 93/7 in 15 overs but Rinku smashed a sensational 83 not out from 51 balls including four sixes in a row in the final over to lift them to 155/7.

Cameron Green (34) was the only other batter to reach double-digit scores as KKR suffered a familiar batting meltdown with Mohsin taking his maiden fifer.

In reply, LSG continued their dismal show with the bat to succumb to their fifth loss in a row.

Brief Scores:

Kolkata Knight Riders 155/7; 20 overs (Rinku Singh 83 not out, Cameron Green 34; Mohsin Khan 5/23). Lucknow Super Giants 155/8; 20 overs (Rishabh Pant 42). KKR won via Super Over.
