GUWAHATI, Oct 31: Investors who had made investments running into many lakhs of rupees with DB Stocks famed Dipankar Barman but did not get promised returns say they want the harshest of harsh punishment for the online trading scam accused.
Investors who gathered outside Pan Bazaar Police Station further said that since he had taken such huge sums of money from gullible investors, they feel he was not alone in carrying forward his shady businesses and that apart from his parents and his fiancee, there could be many others who were also involved.
“We want the harshest punishment given to Dipankar Barman. He has left us in such a messy situation,” an investor who did not want himself to be named told News Live.
It may be mentioned here that Dipankar Barman had been on the run for more than two months after he fled Guwahati, reportedly on Aug 18, when a section of investors — who had invested huge sums of money — accused him of not paying them assured monthly returns.
After being on the run, a team of Guwahti City Police finally traced him to Goa from where he was arrested on Sunday evening.
He was brought to Guwahati on Tuesday evening on a transit remand.
