Imphal, April 24 2022:
All Manipur GMT Investors' Welfare Association on Sunday staged a sit-in protest at Tidim Ground, demanding the government to arrest and award strict punishment to Moirang-based Grow Manipur Team (GMT) scheme founder Pukhram Maikel, who has gone hiding after cheating investors of their money, amounting to crores of rupees.
Speaking on the sidelines of the sit-in, one of the protestors expressed his dismay over the government's alleged protection of people involved in the ponzi scheme.
The government has not yet taken up any legal action against the accused people, while ignoring the plight of the affected investors.
The protestor also demanded Maikel to return the money to the investors at the earliest.
During the sit-in, the protestors held up placards inscribed with slogans such as "Stop hiding Maikel", "Government should punish Maikel", "Punish those who have robbed the people", "Maikel should bear all consequences if he fails to return the money to investors", "Stop Ponzi Scheme in Manipur", etc.
