A glass ‘bio disk’ fashioned in the shape of an orb was Gurupreet Singh Anand’s last straw. The Andheri resident blew the whistle on the multi-crore QNet scam in 2013 when he found that his wife was being persuaded by the pyramid scheme’s representatives to shell out R31,500 for the disk that was said to diffuse healing properties. Anand stopped that cheque from going through, and finally -- after repeatedly failing to get promised returns -- filed a police complaint. The behemoth scam -- it had nearly 90,000 members across the country at the time -- began to crumble, but its victims are still trying to piece their lives back together.
