PANJIM: Karwar Independent MLA and Mallikarjun Shipping Private Limited Director Santeesh Sail, alias Satish, skipped the Special Investigation Team’s (SIT) summons in the ongoing probe into illegal mining.
He was summoned to appear on Monday for his alleged involvement in illegal mining activities/exports of illicit iron ore in Goa during the period 2007-2012.
In a written communiqué sent to the SIT Mines, Sail cited his mother-in-law’s illness for not being able to appear for questioning but assured to cooperate with the investigation. He also asked that he may be called on another date, and assured to cooperate with the investigation.
SP Kartik Kashyap confirmed that the MLA skipped the summons owing to personal reasons and a fresh summons has been sent asking him to depose for interrogation on Friday.
SIT’s summons was sent at Sail’s residence in Sadashivgadh, Karwar on Sunday by SIT PI Dattaguru Sawant.
