Bengaluru: Senior BJP leader and Udupi-Chikmagalur MP Shobha Karandlaje on Tuesday demanded that IMA Jewels case should be handed over to the ED or CBI for investigation as the names of Roshan Baig and Zameer Ahmed Khan has popped up in the case.

Speaking to the reporters at the residence of Yeddyurappa, Karandlaje said that a thorough investigation should be done in the matter. “Thorough investigation in this matter has to be done, and thorough investigation is not possible by just handing over the case to SIT. The case needs to be handed over to CBI or ED for investigation so that fair investigations are carried out” she said.

Labelling charges of terrorism on the IMA owner Mansoor Khan, Karandlaje said “One year ago one of our activist informed us that PFI is being funded by IMA, Mansoor was in touch with terrorists. I had informed this to people I know. Now the state government should hand over the case to ED or CBI”.

Bengaluru: MLA H.D. Revanna has filed for anticipatory bail in connection with a kidnapping case involving an alleged rape victim in the K R Nagar police jurisdiction in Mysore.

Scheduled to appear before the Special Investigation Team (SIT) on Friday, Revanna had intended to petition the court directly for bail. However, he opted against direct appearance due to the filing of an FIR against him at the K R Nagar police station. The son of the purported rape victim filed a complaint, accusing the Holenarasipur MLA of abducting his mother.

Given that the registered kidnapping case constitutes a non-bailable offense, H.D. Revanna has submitted an application for anticipatory bail in the Bengaluru City Civil Court, citing concerns about potential arrest.
