Hyderabad police have apprehended Harish Kumar Singla, a senior executive at Forever Living Imports (India) Pvt Ltd, on charges related to a multi-level marketing fraud case. Singla, who serves as the Country Sales Manager, was arrested by Mirchowk Police Station sleuths. The accused, a resident of Haryana, faces various sections of the law, including those under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, Telangana Protection of Depositors of Financial Establishments Act, and the Prize Chits and Money Circulation Schemes (Banning) Act.
According to the police, Singla allegedly engaged in a digital marketing scheme that deceived the public by enticing them into illicit business activities. The accused purportedly attracted individuals with false promises and inducements to participate in the scheme and promote Forever Living products. He is accused of focusing on recruiting new members and collecting fees rather than genuine product sales, using social media to showcase a luxurious lifestyle to entice potential participants.
Singla reportedly provided guidance to his agents, managers, and FBOs through both online and offline training sessions, collecting fees for admission or registration. The accused organized company events in various Indian cities and promoted different packages like Slow Track (ST), Medium Track (MT), and Fast Track (FT) to entice participants with the prospect of quick returns. The police allege that Singla targeted young adults aged 18–24 and housewives with offers of part-time job opportunities and work-from-home schemes.
