It seems the complaints against chit fund firms are increasing every passing day and the queue of investors is also becoming thicker in front of the Economic Offence Wing (EOW) office of the Crime Branch.
In the list of fraudulent financial firms, Morning Star Venture Private limited has become a new addition after its investors lodged complaints of being swindled. The investors alleged that the financial firm cheated them of around Rs 14 crore by promising hefty returns on their deposits.
Meanwhile, investors of Artha Tatwa (AT) Group from Jagatsinghpur, Kujang and Paradip lodged complaints against the chit fund firm at the EOW for cheating them of around Rs 50 crore.
Similarly, the investors of the Seashore Group complained before the Nayagarh SP against the company for duping them. The investors requested the SP to take appropriate steps against the company so that they could get their invested money back.
Meanwhile, Jan Tantra Morcha workers, demanding action against political leaders for their association with the chit fund firms, staged a protest rally in front of the State Assembly on Friday. The workers demanded the State Government to arrest the political heavyweights and influential persons involved in the chit fund scam.
