Hyderabad Police Arrest Five in Goa Over Alleged QNET Multi-Level Marketing FraudPreviousNext

Hyderabad Police arrested five Kerala natives linked to QNET during a raid at a Goa resort, seizing luxury vehicles and digital evidence. The arrests followed a complaint from a man who alleged he was persuaded through social media and presentations to invest ₹7.5 lakh in what was presented as a legitimate luxury goods business. Police described the case as involving multi-level marketing and money circulation fraud, with the accused allegedly pressuring the complainant to pay a booking amount and keep the proposal confidential.
