Mumbai: Senior BJP leader Kirit Somaiya met with the Mumbai Police Commissioner for half an hour to discuss a significant financial fraud case. He revealed that the case has been handed over entirely to the Economic Offences Wing (EOW) for investigation. Sangram Singh Disipu was also present during the discussion.

Special arrangements have been made for lodging complaints, with forms available for investors to fill out. A dedicated cell has been established to track the flow of funds, including any that may have been transferred abroad, and to devise methods for recovering the money.

Somaiya urged investors not to worry about cash transactions or the source of their funds being questioned. “It may take time to reach the main conspirators behind the scam, but we are working to expose the truth as quickly as possible,” he said.

He estimated that over 25,000 people might have invested in the fraudulent scheme, with the scam potentially amounting to ₹1,000 crore. The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has also been contacted to investigate the possibility of funds being moved overseas.

Somaiya expressed concern that although many people are discussing the fraud, very few have officially filed complaints. “We have not even received a thousand complaints yet,” he noted, adding that many victims remain trapped by greed. He concluded by emphasizing that no official permissions are required for such operations since they are not legitimate businesses, underscoring the need for vigilance and prompt action to prevent further exploitation.
