The Special Investigation Team, SIT of the Goa Crime Branch has summoned former Chief Minister, Digambar Kamat on Monday in connection with investigations into the illegal mining scam. Senior Crime Branch official told PTI that Mr Kamat will be questioned in relation with the illegal mining activity. This is the second summon issued to him in connection with the case.<br/><br/>The Congress leader, who is named in the FIR filed by the Crime Branch was summoned on Tuesday but had failed to appear before it claiming to be out of station. He was first questioned in the case by the SIT in February 2014. According to the report of Justice (retd) M B Shah Commission, illegal mining to the tune of 35,000 crore rupees took place in Goa from 2005 to 2012, when the Supreme Court banned iron ore extraction in the state.<br/><br/>A complaint was filed by the Mines and Geology Department in July 2013 seeking to fix criminal liability on those involved in the illegal mining as pointed out by various committees, including the Centre-appointed Shah Commission.
