Besides expediting the ongoing investigation into irregularities in Kurumbur Primary Agriculture Cooperative Bank, steps should be taken to return the pledged jewels and deposits with maturity amount, the investors have appealed.
Submitting a petition to Collector K. Senthil Raj on Monday after staging a demonstration in front of the Collectorate, the depositors led by Kurumbur PACB Retrieval Committee president J. Prabhakaran said the administrators of the bank had indulged in irregularities to the tune of over ₹2 crore by misappropriating the deposits and jewels pledged against the loans.

India’s gem and jewellery industry continues to demonstrate remarkable resilience and a spirit of innovation, said Kirit Bhansali, chairman of the Gem and Jewellery Export Promotion Council (GJEPC), at the inauguration of the 4th edition of IIJS Bharat-Tritiya 2026 at Bengaluru International Exhibition Centre (BIEC) here on Saturday, March 21.
