Mumbai: So, Kirit Somaiya, the BJP leader, had a sit-down with the Mumbai Police Commissioner to chat about this huge financial fraud. They talked for about half an hour, and it turns out the Economic Offences Wing (EOW) is now in charge of the investigation. Sangram Singh Disipu was there too.
They’ve set up a special way for people to lodge complaints, with forms ready for anyone who invested. There’s even a dedicated team to track where the money went, including any funds that might have been sent overseas.
Somaiya reassured investors, saying they shouldn’t stress about cash transactions or where their money came from. He mentioned that it might take a while to catch the main culprits, but they’re on it and want to get to the bottom of this quickly.
He estimated that around 25,000 people could be affected, with the scam possibly hitting ₹1,000 crore. The Enforcement Directorate (ED) is also looking into whether any money was moved out of the country.
Somaiya pointed out that while a lot of folks are talking about the fraud, not many have actually filed complaints. “We haven’t even hit a thousand complaints yet,” he said, noting that some victims are still caught up in their greed. He wrapped up by stressing that no official permissions are needed for these shady operations since they aren’t real businesses, highlighting the importance of being alert and acting fast to stop more people from getting hurt.
