Duped Investors to stage demo in city on July 31




BHUBANESWAR: Investors duped by financial institutions would stage a massive rally at the PMG Square in the city on July 31 demanding recovery of their money deposited in the fraudulent companies. Investors from different districts would attend the rally, said convener of duped investors’ body Jayant Das.

Das said the Centre and the State failed to protect the interest of the investors and left the non-banking financial institutions to loot them. The State allowed the common police to probe the financial fraud committed by Artha Tatwa Group which is unfortunate. The State has recently declared to form a corpus fund of Rs 300 crore to help the investors, but the State is yet to publish a gazette notification regarding this, alleged Das.

The body demanded the State Government to open grievance cells at block level to take actual data of individual investors regarding their investment in the companies. It also demanded that the seized property should be kept with the Finance Department instead of keeping that with the police.

Among other demands, probe by Enforcement Directorate with active supervision of the High Court, exemplary punishment to the fraudsters, a special law should be passed for the recovery and protection of the investors’ deposited money.
