Female depositors of Mashel Mahila Co-operative Credit Society allege a whopping Rs 18 crore fraud, implicating directors and staff in financial malpractice. About 509 depositors are stuck with the deadlock, protesting at Azad Maidan in Panaji over alleged mismanagement.
The distressed depositors, mostly women, reveal a systematic embezzlement scheme orchestrated by the cooperative’s management. Victims claim directors and staff manipulated records, misled investors, and misappropriated funds.
They express shock and dismay at the betrayal of trust, urging government intervention to withdraw their hard-earned money. The society faces restrictions for non-compliance and failure to protect depositors’ interests.
