The Hyderabad City Police’s CCS unit arrested 32 individuals on Monday, March 23, for allegedly running an illegal money circulation and cheating racket linked to Vihaan Direct Selling Pvt. Ltd, a franchise of QI Group operating under the brand name QNet.
The arrested include 32-year-old Rohith Kumar, 31-year-old Sandeep Reddy, and several others, including 11 women, who were involved in promoting, recruiting, and training members for the multi-level marketing (MLM) scheme.
Police said most of those detained are software employees and former IT professionals who played active roles in convincing new members to invest in the system, allegedly promising high returns. The CCS sleuths are investigating further to determine the full extent of the racket and trace the financial transactions.
Authorities warned the public to remain cautious of similar schemes and report suspicious investment activities to avoid falling prey to illegal MLM operations.
