About a hundred investors had assembled in front of the Rose Valley-owned hotel in downtown Minto Park area after they were allegedly invited by the hotel authorities for a talk on settlement of payments, a senior officer of Kolkata Police said today.
The situation turned hostile when the hotel authorities denied to meet the people, who in anger vandalised the hotel's cafeteria and reception room and broke glass panes and its furniture.
The Rose Valley chit fund scam is over Rs 17,000 crore and the ED had recently attached Rs 300 crore worth of assets of the Rose Valley group for alleged money laundering.
The CBI had arrested Trinamool Congress MPs Sudip Bandyopadhyay and Tapas Pal for their alleged involvement in the scam.
Though Bandyopadhyay out on bail, Paul is still in jail in Bhubaneswar.
The group owner Gautam Kundu is now in a city jail.
