Character actor Boman Irani and his son who are currently being probed
by the Economic Offences Wing (EOW) over their alleged involvement in
the QNet scam spoke out about their role in the whole situation. Boman
issued a media statement stating, “I was informed yesterday that there
was information sent to the members of the media that a certain
gentleman has lodged a complaint against my son Danesh Irani and I, for
involvement with a company – Qnet. This is a multilevel marketing
company that is at the moment is under scrutiny by the Economic Offenses
Wing (EOW). My involvement with the company is merely based on the fact
that I have attended a function of Qnet and had been photographed
there. My son had worked as an agent like thousands of others when he
had passed out of college, during the period of 2007-2008. After which
he left for the USA for his MBA. His earnings and residuals for his hard
earned efforts as a multilevel marketing agent are all taxed and above
board. Even though the individual has made this complaint, no authority
including the EOW has intimated us for any inquiry. Rest assured, me and
my family are law abiding citizens of this country.” Reportedly, the
cops are currently probing into Danesh’s bank account for more details.
QNet happens to be a multi-level marketing company (MLM), which duped
more than Rs.425 crores by selling them items with ‘miraculous
properties’.
