QNET Scam: Indore Victims Trapped by ‘Guaranteed’ Returns and Empty Promises

QNET Scam: yet another case of QNET fraud has cropped up with a resident being duped of Rs one lakh for an online business venture offered by QNET network associated persons. Here, according to Kusum allegations, persons working in this QNET network have dupe her in the business venture that yields huge gains. Such case is nothing but the evidence of going on QNET fraud as such cases are gradually increasing these days in the city, Indore.

The three fraudsters-Bharati Parmar, Kanishka Parmar, and Pushpendra Solanki-presented before Kusum this high-profile international business venture they were speaking about. She trusted Kanishka Parmar because it has been more than five years that she had her roommate staying with her; besides, the boyfriend- Kanishka and his ladyfriend Pushpendra-confidated her by claiming she may get back a crore rupees after five years in the form of return on investment. And when these fraudsters began describing their lavish life through good, high-end automobiles-a Mercedes, BMW or an Audi-she, once again, got carried away to believe it and entrapped herself in fraud and got trapped by all.

QNET Scam: Initially, she did not want to come into this business model. She repeatedly asked for the business model. Kanishka ensured her that it was neither MLM nor network marketing. It was a "brand-promoting online business," according to him. She had been persistently coaxed by the accused and eventually, on September 13, 2022, transferred Rs 1 lakh via NEFT. Then, the accused forced her to attend seminars for months but did not explain to her how she could earn income. They told her only when the money had been forwarded that she would have to get other people to produce any profits, which meant exactly the opposite of what they had told her so far.

It made Kusum's anger even worse since the culprit revealed the company name only after the deadline for getting a refund. It is said that this couple had forced her to meet possible recruits in lavish restaurants and wear provocative attire, which was professional rather than proper. At this point in time, she felt she was betrayed, and it was at that time she went ahead with reporting the case to the police.

Soon after the registration of her complaint, law enforcement initiated an investigation into the case. No sooner had the news spread than officials from Vijay Nagar Police Station acted and arrested Pushpendra Solanki in Bhopal. However, many of his associates continue to remain absconding like Dilip Gour, Ankur and Anita, Dr. Anurag, and Sonu. Meanwhile, Kanishka Parmar along with her mother, Bharati Parmar, reportedly went underground in Narsinghgarh.

QNET Scam: The case is registered under IPC sections 420 (cheating), 406 (criminal breach of trust), and 34 (acts in furtherance of common intention) that clearly reflects the seriousness of the allegations. The authorities are actively pursuing the absconding accused and cautioning the public to verify any investment offers, especially those involving QNET. These doubts about this investigation kept on mounting since some officers, who are the initial supporters of this probe, now distance themselves from this inquiry, like DCP Abhinav Vishwakarma and ACP Krishna Lal Chandani.
During working on this case, people in Indore and beyond have been warned of these types of scamming schemes.
