At the center of this movement stood Sri K.N. Giri Prasad and Sri Mamillapally Vijaykumar, who gradually transformed scattered grievances into an organized legal and social movement. What initially appeared to be isolated complaints slowly unfolded into a statewide issue involving thousands of victims, multiple entities, real estate ventures, debenture schemes, financial collections, and interconnected companies.

One of the biggest challenges faced by the victims was the complete absence of coordination. Investors were spread across different districts, many were elderly citizens, and several were emotionally broken. Most victims had no legal guidance or understanding about how to proceed. At that stage, Sri K.N. Giri Prasad and Sri Mamillapally Vijaykumar personally started gathering information from affected investors, collecting receipts, agreements, payment records, investment details, company records, and documentary evidence.

Over time, this effort evolved into the formation of the “DFI Victims Forum,” which later received structural and legal backing through the establishment of the Victims Rights Protection Trust (VRPT). The purpose of VRPT was not merely public protest or media publicity, but to create a legally recognized platform capable of representing investors before courts, police authorities, media agencies, and government institutions.

Through systematic coordination, the Forum gradually exposed that the matter was not confined to one or two transactions or a simple civil dispute. The records gathered reflected a vast corporate structure involving multiple sectors such as publications, real estate ventures, hospitals, remedies, advertising, infra projects, IT solutions, traders, hospitality, healthcare, and media-related entities.

One of the major contributions of Sri K.N. Giri Prasad and Sri Mamillapally Vijaykumar was the expansion of public awareness. Through WhatsApp coordination, victim meetings, documentation drives, media exposure, and continuous communication, the Forum succeeded in bringing hundreds and later thousands of affected investors together.

Many victims who had remained silent out of fear or hopelessness began approaching the Forum with records and complaints. This collective realization became the foundation of the larger movement and transformed the issue into a major public concern involving alleged large-scale economic offences.

The Forum’s work extended far beyond media statements. Continuous legal proceedings were initiated through implead petitions, counters, criminal petitions, written submissions, victim coordination, and representations before investigating authorities and the Hon’ble High Court for the State of Telangana.

The legal submissions highlighted that thousands of investors had not yet been properly heard and that the investigation required expansion to expose the full extent of the alleged fraud network. The Forum also repeatedly raised concerns regarding continuation of activities, handling of properties, preservation of evidence, and protection of investor interests.

The legal struggle eventually reached a crucial stage before the Hon’ble High Court of Telangana. Multiple petitions connected with the accused side came under judicial scrutiny. Ultimately, the Hon’ble High Court pronounced orders dismissing the petitions filed by the accused side, and the stay protection also came to an end.

However, despite these developments, the concerns of the victims have not completely ended. The DFI Victims Forum continues to maintain that the matter remains highly sensitive because allegations continue regarding sale of lands, handling of properties, and movement of assets. Therefore, the Forum continues to seek stronger investigation, preservation of records, and protection of investor interests.

At the same time, the accused continues to maintain innocence, and final determination of criminal liability remains subject to investigation, evidence, and judicial process. The Forum therefore continues its legal and public efforts while respecting the due process of law.
