Raipur, September 15, 2012
The Youth Congress (YC) has alleged that police were shielding chit fund firm Garima Real Estate Company (GREC) despite evidences against it. “We came across some of the GREC agents who complained that the company was cheating its investors. We lodged complaint against this company with Telibandha police but they expressed their inability to take any action into this matter,” said YC’s Raipur North Vidhan Sabha area president Sunil Kukreja on Saturday.
“The agents we met hail from Bastar and had come to GREC’s Telibandha-based office to claim their incentives and bonus amounting Rs 15 lakh against convincing people to invest in the company. When the GREC refused to entertain the agents, they realised that their customers’ had invested in the fraud company. We sought police intervention but told that the matter is beyond their jurisdiction and rather it was forwarded to special investigation cell (SIC),” Kukreja said.
“This is ridiculous. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) had twice told the media that it had provided thorough information about Chit Fund Company Act to the state police and authorised station house officers (SHOs) to take action against such fraud companies. The police are well aware of the sections to be imposed on fraud chit fund companies but they rub their hand on pretext of absence of investors and particular company’s representatives,” he added.
He pointed that BJP MLA Devji Bhai Patel too had raised the matter of GREC at state assembly and had even dared the police administration to arrest the company owners Sudhir Rai, Dheeraj Patil and Soman Dev. “In reply, the parliamentary secretary Vijay Baghel had assured Devji Bhai Patel of taking stern action against the GREC owners, but nothing happened till date,” he said.
He said about 20 chit fund companies were engaged in deceiving people of Chhattisgarh but neither the police administration nor the government had taken any initiative to curb such practice and put the guilty behind the bars.
He warned of launching aggressive agitation against such chit fund companies if the police administration would not take action against them quickly.
