He, however, declined to divulge the status of the probe and the possibility of depositors getting their hard-earned money back at the earliest.Beleaguered depositors also raised the question when a 10-member delegation led by Cruz Cardozo called on Superintendent of Police, Priyanka Kashyap. “When we tried to find out from the SP the status of the case, she said that the investigation in the case is on,” Cruz told The Goan. The beleaguered depositors have been anxiously waiting for some positive news from the investigating agency as their deposits running into crores of rupees are at stake, with the accused defaulting to return their money along with the interest. Sources in the know said the depositors have also approached a number of institutions with the hope of gathering information on the financial status of the accused, but in vain.Cruz said he is still receiving calls from beleaguered seafarers, who are on voyage, seeking to know the status of the ongoing investigations. “People are anxious in knowing when they will recover their hard-earned money,” he added.
