How QNET Fraudsters Are Targeting Innocents In Indore
Published By admin with Comments 0
A shocking case of duping of Rs 1 lakh in a fraud scheme supposedly linked to the controversial company QNET has emerged from Indore. Kusum is the resident of Indore who had been trapped in a Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) fraud, which was disguised as an online business opportunity that seemed lucrative.
The incident, which occurred in September 2022, is about three persons—Bharati Parmar, Kanishka Parmar, and Pushpendra Solanki—who reportedly convinced Kusum to invest in an online business by giving her the promise of Rs 5 crore within five years. Since she had no experience and was not aware of the QNET business model, she was unwilling but the continuous pressure from Kanishka, an old friend acquaintance, and Pushpendra, who according to Kusum, Kanishka’s boyfriend, goaded her into joining the scheme.
Despite her suspicions, Kusum paid Rs 1 lakh to the accused who had told her that this was a genuine business and not a Multi-Level Marketing business, popularly known as an MLM scam. But then it took an alarming turn when she had to attend seminars and training after months. It was then that the couple disclosed the true nature of the business—QNET, an MLM company notorious for its pyramid structure, founded on recruiting others for investment.
Kanishka and Pushpendra revealed that Kusum would have to recruit more people to generate money, which would involve investments of between Rs 1 lakh and Rs 10 lakh. The couple even manhandled Kusum into wearing revealing clothes and convincing others to join the scheme.
With the money gone and no promised returns, Kusum filed a complaint with the police. Now, an investigation into the QNET fraud case has been launched, and the police are taking the matter seriously. Charges under sections 420 (cheating), 406 (criminal breach of trust), and 34 (acts done by several persons in furtherance of common intention) of the IPC are pressed against the accused.
