AGARTALA, December 23 (TIWN): Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Tripura State Committee today demanded that the state government make an assessment about the quantum of money allegedly amassed by chit fund companies by duping investors and handover the cases to the CBI for investigation.
Speaking to the reporters at BJP state headquarter Secretary of BJP Tapash Manjumder alleged that Saradha group, Rose Valley group, Waris group and other chit fund companies cheated thousands of people in the state but no effective measures were taken to arrest the people involved with the fraud.
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) was collecting documents on the alleged cheating on the basis of which the party would submit a memorandum to Prime Minister Narendra Modi demanding CBI probe into the cases, Tapash Manjumder said.
A total of 37 cases lodged at different police stations against 24 chit fund companies were referred to Department of Personnel and Training, Government of India for CBI investigation, he mentioned.
Criticizing the irresponsibility role of the state govt. Tapash said that the state govt. has not taken any responsibility to figure out the amount of the money looted by the chit fund companies in the case filed to CBI, with which the prime chit fund companies of the state had been rescued from the CBI scanner. The CPI (M) and the left front ministers are now on a race to safeguard the clean image of CM Manik Sarkar the so called Mr. Model, Tapash claimed.
Earlier, BJP state unit organized a high-level meeting with the agents and depositors of different chit fund companies across the state. In the meeting, different depositors and agents who were victimized by the different chit fund companies detailed their losses.
According to the agents, these companies like Rose Valley, Waris, Basil and others escaped from the state by taking lakhs of amounts leaving them in distress. The depositors also stated that they faced a huge loss and demanded CBI investigation into the allegations against non-banking financial institutions (NBFI), popularly known as chit funds.
“People deposited money in these institutions are visibly upset and angry over non-compliance of conditions. Action is necessary to safeguard interest of people”, said Tapash Majumder.
