IMA multi-crore scam: Hearing of Roshan Baig on July 15?
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.

Born in a humble family in Gondur village under the Dhule district of present-day Maharashtra on February 19, 1925, Sutar is known to have been drawn to sculpting from his childhood.
A gold medallist from JJ School of Art and Architecture, Mumbai, Sutar, has to his credit a long list of achievements.
The iconic statues of Mahatma Gandhi seated in a meditating pose and of Chhatrapati Shivaji riding a horse on the Parliament premises rank among his finest creations.
The Statue of Unity honours Sardar Patel, country's first deputy prime minister and home minister.
Sutar was honoured with the Padma Shri in 1999 and the Padma Bhushan in 2016.
Recently, Sutar was conferred with the Maharashtra Bhushan Puraskar, the state's highest award.
