Controversies

The investigation included the company's founder, Vijay Eswaran, and several others. Following Eswaran's failure to appear before authorities for questioning.[27] [28] The Economic Offences Wing issued lookout notices. During this period, QNET's bank accounts were frozen. QNET, however, vehemently refuted the allegations, asserting that its operations were legal, compliant, and transparent.[29][30]

In 2014, the Enforcement Directorate alleged money laundering against Vijay Eswaran and QNET, an accusation that both the company and Eswaran contested.[31][32]

In 2016, after three years of investigation, the Economic Offences Wing of the Mumbai Police issued lookout notices against 30 individuals connected to QNET,[33] with Vijay Eswaran prominently featured as the key accused.[34]

In 2017, Justice DP Surana of the Maharashtra Protection of Interest of Depositors (MPID) court expressed doubts regarding the legality of QNET's business in India.[35] However, the Supreme Court granted bail to those arrested in the case and halted legal proceedings related to the 19 first information reports filed by the police in 2013.

In February 2018, QNET faced prosecution for fraud and forgery at a trial court in Labe, Somalia.
