Bengaluru: The Special Investigation Team (SIT) probing the multi-crore I Monetary Advisory (IMA) investment scam has recovered Rs 2.5 crore from Bengaluru Urban Deputy Commissioner BM Vijay Shankar, who was recently arrested.
It is gathered that SIT sleuths while interrogating Vijay Shankar for allegedly taking a bribe of Rs 1.5 crore from IMA Group MD Mohammad Mansoor Khan to sign a report in favour of the company found that he had given the money to a builder to purchase a flat and a site.
The SIT approached the builder and recovered the money Vijay Shankar had given to him. During the investigation, the SIT also found that Vijay Shankar had taken a bribe of `1 crore from another person in lieu of doing him some favour, which was also recovered by the SIT.
With Vijay Shankar caught in many corruption charges, the SIT has handed over his case file and the money to the Anti-Corruption Bureau for further investigation.
