PANJIM: The Goa Government has issued an interim attachment order under the Goa Protection of Investors and Depositors Act, 2018, to attach seven properties and freeze multiple bank accounts belonging to Myron Rodrigues, his former wife Sunita Rodrigues, and his current wife Deepali Parab.
This action, according to police, is related to an alleged Rs 100 share market crore investment scam where investors were defrauded of their hard-earned money. The attached properties and bank accounts are suspected to be proceeds from this crime, acquired through the alleged investment scam, which involved promising high returns to investors.
The attachment order demonstrates the government's commitment to protecting investors and depositors from fraudulent activities.
Deepali Parab was previously arrested by the Crime Branch in Kalyan, Mumbai, and is currently in judicial custody after her bail application was rejected by the Sessions Court, Margaon. Sunita Rodrigues was also arrested and taken into custody by the MHB Colony Police Station of the Mumbai Police.
Investigations revealed that Myron Rodrigues and Deepali Parab allegedly cheated investors by promising high returns, misappropriating crores of rupees for personal gain. The Economic Offences Cell (EOC) of Goa Police arrested Deepali Parab under sections 406 and 420, read with 34 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and Sections 3 and 5 of the GPID Act.
Myron Rodrigues remains at large. Following a blue notice issued by INTERPOL, the Goa Police has submitted a proposal to the CBI to issue a Red Notice against him, as he is suspected to be abroad.
