Meanwhile ANI reported that PMC account holders alleged the bank is not cooperating with them and said they cannot celebrate Diwali. "The PMC Bank is not cooperating with us. Guru Purab is around. We had planned so many things for that occasion but now we would not be able to celebrate our festival with the same amount of happiness," said an account holder of the PMC Bank.
"On this Diwali, PMC bank holders won't even celebrate the festival with joy and happiness. People had saved money for weddings and festivals. Their money has now been blocked by the bank completely," he added.
On Tuesday, they also staged a protest at Azad Maidan and raised slogans and held placards which read 'Black Diwali, Save Us' and 'Innocents are losing life'.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has seized and identified movable and immovable assets worth more than Rs 3,830 crore owned by Housing Development and Infrastructure Limited (HDIL) in connection with the case.
