Vartha Bharati | 11-07-2019 | 23:47:00 IST

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.

Bhubaneswar (PTI): The Biju Janata Dal on Saturday suspended six of its MLAs for cross-voting during the recent election to four Rajya Sabha seats from Odisha.

The suspended legislators were Chakramani Kanhar of Baliguda seat, Naba Kishor Mallick of Jayadev constituency, Souvic Biswal of Choudwar-Cuttack, Subasini Jena of Basta, Ramakanta Bhoi of Tirtol and Devi Ranjan Tripathy of Banki, an order by party chief Naveen Patnaik showed.

The suspension decision was taken at the opposition party's Political Affairs Committee (PAC) meeting presided over by Patnaik.

The six MLAs were issued a show-cause notice on March 17.

They submitted their replies on Friday evening, and those were found not satisfactory, said the BJD's chief whip in the Assembly, Pramila Mallik.

The ruling BJP won two of the four Rajya Sabha seats while the opposition BJD and a saffron party-backed Independent candidate bagged one seat each in the biennial polls held last Monday.

While the total number of BJP legislators and Independent MLAs supporting the ruling party was 82 in the 147-member House, the saffron party candidates secured 93 first preference votes, which was 11 more than its strength in the Assembly.

Of these 11 votes, eight were of BJD MLAs and three of Congress legislators, an official had said.
