Hundreds of investors allegedly cheated in a Rs 1,200 crore investment scam staged a protest outside the police commissioner’s office in Maharashtra’s Thane district, demanding a speedy investigation and recovery of their money, according to the news agency PTI.

Last month, the Economic Offences Wing (EOW) arrested three persons from Gujarat in connection with the case, which is suspected to have defrauded more than 11,000 investors, including about 1,500 police personnel, across Maharashtra.
