An 11-member SIT headed by DIG B R Ravikanthe Gowda was formed by the Karnataka government to probe the alleged fraud by the firm.

Last month, Khan released a video claiming that he wants to return to India and reveal names of corrupt politicians. Adding on, in the 18-minute video, he further mentioned his willingness to share the names of officers who extorted money from him.

Khan, the promoter of IMA Jewels and prime accused in Ponzi scheme case, is under investigation for duping 40,000 investors in the state.
