In late July 2026 Indian authorities arrested five individuals accused of operating the QNet multi‑level marketing scheme after a victim’s complaint about a ₹7.5 lakh investment linked to a luxury‑goods front. The arrests were made in Goa during a marketing event and the suspects were transferred to Hyderabad, where police also seized vehicles and phones.

A week later, Hyderabad’s Economic Offences Wing announced the detention of two additional men for luring families into a QNet‑linked binary‑chain scam that had led victims to take loans and invest roughly ₹28 lakh. The suspects were arrested in Pune and moved to Hyderabad for prosecution. The same period also saw a separate chit‑fund fraud case prompting protests, but the focus remained on the expanding QNet investigation, with authorities indicating more suspects remain at large.
