"The ACB teams are verifying the documents and the investigation is on," said the ACB officials, as reported earlier on Tuesday. Multiple teams of the ACB arrived at five locations of Zameer Khan, who served as food and civil supplies minister in HD Kumaraswamy's cabinet for over a year and was a four-time MLA.

Earlier, last year Enforcement Directorate (ED) has raided Zameer Khan and another former Minister R Roshan Baig's residence, allegedly in connection with the IMA Ponzi scam worth Rs 4,000 crore. In this case, Khan had earlier appeared several times before ED.
