EOW summons lawyer in QNet case

MUMBAI: The city economic offences wing (EOW), probing the Rs 425-crore cheating case allegedly committed by multi-level marketing firm QNet, on Monday summoned lawyer Haresh Jagtiani and asked him to assist in the investigation. Jagtiani is reportedly the founder-promoter of Bonvo Travel (India), a franchise of QNet.
Rajvardhan Sinha, additional commissioner of police, EOW, said, “Jagtiani appeared before the EOW.We had called him to understand his role.” Earlier, the EOW had questioned Michael Ferreira, billiards champion and a Padma Bhushan recipient, and actor Boman Irani’s son Danesh, in connection with the case. Bank accounts of Ferreira and Danesh have been frozen. In February, the ED registered a case under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act against QNet, Vihaan Direct Selling, Ferreira and QNet’s office-bearer Vijay Eswaran.
