Bengaluru: Hundreds of investors have been left in the lurch after the Managing Director of I Monetary Advisory (IMA) Jewels, Mansoor Khan went missing after recording an audio hinting that he is committing suicide.
The audio clip was sent to city police commissioner by Khan, and he has accused Shivajinagar MLA Roshan Baig of threatening and demanding Rs 400 crore from him.
Soon after the video went viral investors in large numbers turned up outside the office located on the Bowring Hospital Road in Shivajinagar and demanded their money. The office however was closed today and a notice put outside stated it was closed from June 5 to 9 for Ramzan.
While the police are yet to trace Khan’s whereabouts, sources said that he had gone absconding to a village at the outskirts of the city from where he had sent the audio clip.
Notably, there are cases filed against Khan by the Central Crime Branch and notices were slapped against him for property Forfeiture by the Assistant Commissioner’s office.
Reacting to the viral video and accusations levelled against him, Roshan Baig said: “It has come to my notice that some fake content on my name is being circulated with regard to ongoing issues of IMA Group of Companies. I categorically state that I am neither a stakeholder/partner of this company in any way or form. My association with IMA Group is as a legislator and strictly on the basis of social work that was carried out in my assembly constituency of particularly the VK Obaidullah School in Shivajinagar which accommodates several thousand students from my constituency. There are several contractors and private companies who participate in developmental works of my constituency and not in any way am I a part of any of those companies.
I profoundly request people and my constituents to not pay attention to take forwards and to discard any such false information doing rounds. Let it be known that I have initiated necessary steps before the appropriate authorities to initiate legal action against such miscreants. All those involved in spreading such false information will be taken to task by appropriate authorities.”
