Bengaluru: Investors from Dubai too have landed in Bengaluru to lodge complaints against the I Monetary Advisory (IMA) and its absconding Managing Director Mohammad Mansoor Khan.
These investors approached in person at the Commercial Street police station and filed cheating complaints. According to sources, in the last two days investors from West Bengal and other parts of North India have also approached the police to file complaints.
"It was initially the local investors who came and filed the complainant. Now, investors from different parts of the country and abroad are filing complaints,” a police source said.
The police are going above and beyond their call of duty to help panic striken investors to file their complaints by working extra hours. As many as 15 policemen were present at the AS Convention Hall and have been registering about 5,000 complaints a day since Monday. Most of them had even skipped food to console and help the investors lodge complaints.
Senior citizens, pregnant women and investors from outside Bengaluru and Karnataka are registering their complaints at the Commercial Street police station. The entire staff of the police station is focusing on clearing the rush of IMA investors.
The Commercial Street police have registered nearly 35,000 complaints in just six days since Monday with 5,200 complaints being filed on Saturday.
Many of the investors Deccan Chronicle spoke to had invested their entire savings ranging from Rs 50,000 to Rs 5 lakh hoping they would get good monthly returns.
“I had never thought this would happen and I would be left with no money. That (Rs 1 lakh) was the only saving I had and now it's also gone," said Anwar, a daily wage worker, who had invested money a few months ago.
