Andhra Pradesh Government has credited ₹666.84 crore into the accounts of over seven lakh victims of Agri Gold scam who deposited upto ₹20,000.
Speaking on the occasion, Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy said the victims include daily wage workers to middle-class families, who deposited their earnings trusting the management.
Agri Gold launched a collective investment scheme without regulatory approvals and collected crores of rupees. The scam was busted in 2015 and the State Government took over the assets. Keeping the promise made to those victims, the State government has credited ₹905.57 crore to almost 10.4 lakh families in two phases, he said.
