o Muslims you are not powerless, may be govt running is bigger than us but you are not powerless. many people are waking up and realizing that Islam is wonderful religion, full of honor & dignity. As Muslims we have a lot job to do. RSS is in business of dominating our country and they are using state resources to kill Muslims and elect those who kill Muslims. We need to carry the message of Islam not the message of violence. RSS want Hindus to live in a state of fear where they can manipulate and manage them. Govts we have here now have become hypocrite. if govt. is truly democratic it should work for people.

Now things are manageable. No meaning in scratching the head when things become not manageable. We need Hindus to sit down and read Quran once in their life time. Quran is way of life and is system of life which actually works. Stop the fear of Islam. Islam is not your enemy. Islam doesn't send you bills to your door step. Islam doesn't kill you when you drive on the road in the morning. We must stop the business of blaming Islam & Muslims. If we do not something quickly then we will be in state of fear which you wont believe and it will be such a dark place to live because money & power may be major problem which is going to come to the mankind. rich & poor gap is widening. Allah knows best. May Allah guide us all. Ameen

Mr. Chidambaram should have said this information before his killing so that we could have saved an innocent man going in to gallow...how can a government answer this to God...some god will ask question with PM like hanuman, krishna, ganapathi etc....these Gods know real truth if Chaddis are believing in them....or they could have at least consulted Cow Goddess...

Bengaluru, June 24: City-based I Monetary Advisory (IMA), which duped thousands of families, mostly Muslims, in the name of halal investment, has become a bitter reality of "we were robbed by our own people". All the accused except its CEO Mohammad Mansoor Khan have been released on bail in this ponzi scam worth thousands of crores of rupees.

The scam has not only been investigated by SIT and CBI, but it has reverberated many times in the Assembly, corridors of power, and in the courts.

Around 80,000 investors are in trouble after the Monetary Advisory (IMA) scam came to light. Many investors have left this world, many families have split, many marriages have broken down and many have become unemployed, homeless, helpless and hapless. One of the senior IAS office, who had faced arrest in the scam, reportedly killed himself just a day ago.

It has been more than a year since this multi-billion scam came to light. But the affected families still do not see any ray of hope. The government, led by senior IAS officer Harsh Gupta, has set up a special competent authority to address investor grievances in the matter.

According to information provided by Harsh Gupta, investors have to be paid Rs 2,900 crore. But the value of the company's assets seized so far could be around Rs 450 crore. The process of auctioning the assets has not started yet. The authority has developed an online portal for submission of claim forms from investors. But the process of taking applications has not started yet. Syed Gulab, a social worker overseeing the case, says that after all the claim forms have been submitted, we will get a clear picture about the exact number of investors and the total amount of arrears. But this process may take a few more months to complete.

Senior journalist Maqbool Ahmed Siraj says that IMA has systematically deceived people in the name of halal investment through capital scheme. In 2006, Muhammad Mansoor Khan, a one-time small businessman, set up a company. He began to attract large number of investors by creating the greed for more profit among middle class and poor people.

By 2015, the company had received money from more than 12,000 investors and continued to pay monthly profits. By the time the company closed in 2019, 80,000 people had invested their hard-earned money here. In Bengaluru, the company expanded its reach by investing in two major gold showrooms, hospitals, schools, several medical stores, a publishing center, a supermarket, and real estate firm.

Mr Siraj says that Mansoor Khan and his team not only lured the poor and middle class to pursue their own interests but also created a favourable atmosphere for their so called business by winning the hearts of politicians, government officials, clerics, religious institutions and media.

Unsuspecting people invested their money in a bid to make more profit in less time. When the company stopped making profits and Mansoor Khan suddenly fled on June 9, 2019, the investors woke up the to the reality.

Apart from residents of Bengaluru and other parts of Karnataka, people from Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Maharashtra other states also have invested their money.
