Kolkata: Keeping to her promise to return money to the poor who had invested in the Saradha Group which went bust in April this year, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee today distributed cheques to 929 such depositors.
Those who received cheques, as recommended by the Justice (Retd) Shyamal Sen Commission set up the West Bengal government, had invested up to Rs 10,000 in the ponzi schemes.
Speaking on the occasion, Banerjee called upon people not to make any investment henceforth in any chit fund company in view of the Saradha Group scam in which thousands had been defrauded.
“It's my appeal. Please don't keep your money with any chit fund company. It is most unsafe. Rather save money at home if you don't find any other option,” Banerjee exhorted the people.
