Bhubaneswar, Sept 14: A couple of duped investors Wednesday alleged that police were not doing enough to retrieve their hard-earned money from cheats and fraudsters.
An aggrieved investor, Bhikari Charan Sahu, said that a person named Pramod Kumar Dora had taken money from him on the pretext of providing him the C&F of a company but he neither kept his promise nor refunded the amount.
“Dora conned around eight persons saying he was the marketing head of different companies. He cheated all of us in similar fashion. Dora’s associate Prabhat Muduli and three other persons are also involved in cheating others. Though police have arrested Dora and Muduli, they are yet to arrest his three more associates. We have also not got our money back. Some of us gave him `5 lakh, some gave `10 lakh, and some `12 lakh to Dora for getting C&F of various companies across the country. Dora also managed to open bank accounts in the name of several companies in which we deposited the money,” he said.
“When we didn’t get the C&F, Muduli came and told us that Dora was a fraud and he asked us to invest some more money in order to get our work done in the companies. However, Muduli also disappeared. We had lodged complaints against them at our respective police stations, but an inspector rank official, who is posted in Cuttack, is helping the duo,” Sahu alleged.
The aggrieved investors demanded proper investigation by commissionerate police or by EOW of Orissa crime branch.
