Bengaluru, Jul 25: BZ Zameer Ahmed Khan, minister in the outgoing Karnataka coalition government, has been issued notice by the Special Investigation Team (SIT) probing the IMA multi-crore fraud case.

The minister has been asked to appear before the investigation officer as part of the probe on Monday.

It may be recalled that Khan was also issued a notice by the Directorate of Enforcement (ED), which is also probing a case against IMA, earlier.

It is said that the questioning is about the financial transaction between Khan and IMA Founder and Managing Director Mohammed Mansoor Khan, related to a property.

Congress rebel MLA Roshan Baig is also issued a notice by the SIT to appear before them on Monday. Baig had already appeared before the SIT and had submitted several documents.

It is learnt that the SIT will grill Baig based on the documents he produced.

Meanwhile, a 72-year-old chartered accountant (CA) for the IMA firm has been arrested by the SIT for allegedly submitting false information to government agencies.

Iqbal Khan, a resident of Berley Street in Shantinagar, is the arrested CA.

“He used to file the returns of IMA to Income Tax, Registrar of Companies and other government agencies. It has been found that he fudged the accounts of the firm and submitted it to the agencies and projected the firm as a profit-making one. Hence, he has been arrested,” the police added.

In another development, several women investors gathered in front of the City Civil Court Complex on Wednesday, staging a protest demanding that the IMA probe should be referred to the CBI.

They also demanded that their money has to be returned at the earliest.

Mangaluru: No mad rush after lockdown relaxation; people line up in front of liquor shops

Mangaluru, May 4: No major crowds were seen in the coastal city of Mangaluru today except in front of the liquor shops after the district administration relaxed the lockdown norms for 12 hours a day (between 7am and 7pm).

There was no mad rush of vehicles either on city roads when the relaxed lockdown began. There were fewer people to buy essentials in front of grocery and vegetable shops as they had time till late evening.

There was no let down in the number of police pickets as well as curbs on vehicular movement across the city either.

The government has allowed sale of liquor in CL2 (standalone wine shops) and CL 11 (MSIL outlets) to mop up revenues when Lockdown-3 commenced from Monday. Compared the other parts of Karnataka, the size of queues in front of liquor shops in Mangaluru were smaller.

Like other parts of the country, the lockdown was imposed in the coastal district on March 24 to prevent the spread of Covid-19. Prior to that, a curfew was imposed in the district from March 22 midnight. The lockdown did not apply to essential services such as sale of food, groceries, milk, vegetables, fruits, and meat and fish. Gradually the district administration had to intensify the lockdown and allow those shops to remain open only between 7 a.m. and 12 noon.

With the lockdown relaxation extending till 7 p.m., Mangaluru today witnessed people and private vehicles moving freely in the afternoon for the first time in more than a month. However, only those who had to go for work and do other essential activities were seen on roads. After 7 p.m. movements of all kinds of vehicles will be prohibited.

The relaxation was to facilitate economic activities that had come to a standstill during the first two phases of lockdown. Mangaluru City Police Commissioner Dr P S Harsha, meanwhile, warned the people against misusing lockdown relaxation and venturing out without any genuine reason.
