Another case of QNET fraud has come to light in which a woman from Haryana was the victim. In the past also several cases related to the alleged fraudulent activities of QNET have been reported.
In a shocking incident, a multi-level marketing (MLM) representative, posing as a prospective tenant, scammed a woman out of 7 lakhs and threatened to kill her when she demanded her money back. The incident involves Roshan Madhav Jadhav from Ambad village in the Ahmednagar district of Maharashtra and Sushila, a resident of Rohtak.
Sushila, a resident of Rohtak, fell victim to a cunning scheme orchestrated by a man named Roshan Madhav Jadhav. Roshan managed to gain Sushila’s trust by fostering a friendship and convincing her of his lucrative investment opportunities. Acting on his claims, Sushila invested a substantial amount of Rs. 7,01,755 in Roshan’s venture.
In 2023, Jadhav approached Sushila, seeking to rent a house. Although Sushila helped him find a rental, Jadhav ultimately declined the offer. When asked about his occupation, Jadhav claimed to run a lucrative e-commerce business, earning lakhs of rupees monthly. He soon proposed a business partnership to Sushila, promising substantial profits.
Trusting Jadhav, Sushila invested 7 lakhs in the venture without being informed about the company’s name or operations. It was only later that she discovered the company in question was Qnet, a Malaysian network marketing firm operating in India under the name Vihaan Direct Selling, based in Bangalore.
To substantiate his claims, Roshan showed Sushila a series of documents, assuring her of the legitimacy of his business. However, it soon became evident that these documents were nothing but mere fabrications, as Roshan failed to provide any tangible evidence to support his claims. Sushila, who believed Roshan to be her tenant, placed her trust in him, especially when he showcased his seemingly lavish lifestyle on his Instagram page, flaunting luxurious cars and extravagant dining experiences.
Sushila’s world came crashing down when Roshan abruptly vacated the room he had rented from her, disappearing without a trace. It was at this moment that Sushila realized she had fallen victim to a fraudulent scheme. Shockingly, when she reached out to Roshan, demanding the return of her invested funds, she was met with death threats over the phone.
Taking swift action, the victim lodged a complaint with the Urban Estate Police Station, prompting an investigation into the matter. Ratanlal, the in-charge of the station, confirmed that a case has been registered against the accused based on Sushila’s complaint.
Rohtak police registered a case against accused Roshan Madhav Jadhav on June 27, 2024, under Section 154 of the CrPC.
1. THE HARYANA PROTECTION OF INTEREST OF DEPOSITORS IN FINANCIAL ESTABLISHMENT ACT, 2 013 (HARYANA ACT NO. 32 OF 2014), Section 3(2)
2. IPC 1860, Section 120-B (Punishment of criminal conspiracy)
3. IPC 1860, Section 420 (Cheating and Dishonesty)
The police have extended full cooperation to Sushila
Sushila holds high hopes for the Rohtak police to take swift action in her case, seeking justice and the recovery of her lost funds. Organiser makes a heartfelt appeal to all and urges them to exercise caution and steer clear of such avaricious schemes. It is crucial not to place blind trust in individuals and to conduct thorough research before investing money anywhere. By exercising due diligence, individuals can protect themselves from falling prey to fraudulent activities and safeguard their hard-earned money.
