The investors also met economic affairs secretary Arvind Mayaram.
"We have been assured that all concerned departments are looking into the default and necessary and strict action will be taken after government goes through the probe report," Mandal said.
"We want all pssobile angles of this multi-crore fraud should be probed and firm responsibilities fixed," Mandal said. He said that the investors have demanded that a case of mis-apropriation of property, cheating, forgery, violation of Money Laundering Act, the role of defaulters and its link with the exchange should all be probed. "Government should ring fence the assests if the need arises," Mandal said.
