An EOW officer said: "We have found that Ferreira's wife and two children had also received money through QNet and its sister agencies." This comes two days after Ferreira's former daughterin-law, Susan Chatterjee (46), was arrested on Friday for her alleged role in the QNet case. A resident of Oshiwara , Gurupreet Singh Anand, had lodged a complaint in the case.
Ferreira (76) has filed an anticipatory bail plea along with seven other suspects. The court hearing is scheduled to come up on Monday.
QNet allegedly lured investors with schemes involving investment between Rs 30,000 and Rs 7 lakh. "It claimed to be a marketing firm selling watches, herbal products, holiday packages. The firm claimed it sold bio-discs which could cure cancer and brain diseases," said a police officer, adding that they had found the money trail to countries like Malayasia, Singapore and Hong Kong too.
On Friday, the police reached Susan's Khar residence at 7 am and detained her.
"She had induced people to become 'independent representatives' of the firm despite knowing that it was a fraud company. In April 2012 and August 2013, she earned a commission of Rs 1.70 crore. We had frozen her bank account in November last year when it had Rs 24 lakh. Money came into her account from Ms QuestNet Enterprises and Vihaan Direct Selling India Pvt Ltd. This money can be seen from 2007 and she received money even a day prior to her arrest," said an officer.
The police said Ferreira holds 80% shares of Vihaan Direct Selling. Susan, who is 10th accused person to be arrested in the case, has been remanded in police custody till September 16.
Susan's lawyer Sudatt Patil told TOI, "Neither is she involved in the case nor had she personally enrolled any member in the compay ."
About Ferreira, the lawyer said, "He is not involved at all.He had taken shares but did not enrol anyone. He started this business in 2002 and stopped a year later as he did not receive commission. Fay [his wife] is still an independent representative."
A public relations company hired by QNet in Mumbai said, "...In the latest instance, another act of high-handedness has taken place in the purported guise of `investigations' where a lady named Susan Nikhil Chatterjee has been taken into `custody'. It is shocking where levels are reached such that family members of distributors are harassed without any specific reason or any allegation."
The EOW had earlier frozen accounts of Fay and actor Boman Irani's son, Danesh.Other accounts of QNet and its office-bearers were also frozen, blocking Rs 120 crore.
