Subject: STATEMENT OF THE COMPLAINANT IN DETAILS.
Sir,
With reference to the subject cited above, I, the undersigned would like to state that I have filed an FIR against Miss Chaname Ch Marak, D/o Shri Journey Carry R. Marak and Mr. Adam R. Marak, S/o Sampha R. Marak for cheating, criminal breach of trust and financial fraud and Criminal Intimidation on the 9th June 2026.
Brief facts of the case:-
That Miss Chaname Ch Marak, D/o Shri Journey Carry R. Marak and Mr. Adam R. Marak, S/o Sampha R. Marak who are my cousins and relatives called me from their phone number( Miss Chaname Ch Marak (+918132066760/+919366670215) (Mr. Adam R. Marak +916909748523) approached me somewhere in the second week of January 2026 saying that they are working in an International business and there is a vacancy in the said company and asked me to apply for the same and I told them I am a bit hesitant thinking what if I fail the interview but they assured me that they have contacts and will make sure that I get the job and further said that there is no qualification needed for the said work. Then I appeared for an interview online and I got a message that I was selected for the said job and they ask me to come to Delhi as soon as possible as they might give the job to another person if I do not job the said job on time.
I went to Delhi on the 23rd January 2026 to join the said International Business. I again appeared for an interview on the 24th January 2026 which was held at the Golden Eye Café located at Noida by Shri Nishal Katiwoda and Shri Pankaj Sharma. They told me that I have passed the interview and I have paid Rs 2 lakh , for the placement, they withheld Rs 30,000 saying that they needed that for taking our license in our name since its an International Business.That I persuaded my parents to help me with the said amount , I stayed in a rented accommodation at Greater Noida and in few days, they started my trainings via online where I was given inputs about online platforms such as Ola, Uber, Amazon etc. The said training went about one week but I was always asked not to share the details of the training or about the business with others. Then after that I , along with other people were taken to a park for few days regularly situated at Noida assuring that we will be given some training but we were made to wait in the park without any training after which I returned to our rented accommodation. This went on for a series of days where we were taken to a park but we were made to wait there without any work and in the evening time when I return, they used to conduct online training where we were asked to put our phone on a silent mode and we were asked to arrange the phone numbers of our relatives and friends and call them and persuade them to join the international business which I came to know was named QNET International Business and they kept luring me with lucrative offers and a bright future. And the one who agrees to join we were asked to mark on the said names. We were also asked to upload lucrative pictures to make people join the said business. One of my friends named M. Sangma called me and I told her that I have joined an International Business since I was not aware of the Business being a bogus company meant to scam people. My friend after contacting Mr. Adam R. Marak also came there and joined the said International Business and went through the same process. After sometime they told us that the business has been shifted to Shillong and we were asked to join the training a Shillong. After which we came to Shillong we stayed at a rented accommodation arranged by the company, but I did not join the training while my friend named above attended the training online. Then my friend was asked to study the videos and books referred by them.
Then initially we realized that the said company is a scam and they never intended to provide us the work that they had promised. That I trusted Miss Chaname Ch Marak, D/o Shri Journey Carry R. Marak and Mr. Adam R. Marak, S/o Sampha R. Marak who are my cousins and relatives but they duped us thereby losing our hard earned money. It was on the pretext of giving us a stable future. Even after that they tried to brain wash us and persuaded us to make other people join the said work but when we refused, we were chased out from the rented accommodation. That the said company is a big scam and Miss Chaname Ch Marak, D/o Shri Journey Carry R. Marak and Mr. Adam R. Marak, S/o Sampha R. Marak has taken advantage of the trust that we have shown upon them and chated us with the hard earned money and trust that I and my friend have shown on them and when we confronted them they threaten us with dire consequences saying that they have big contacts and we cannot do anything to them so we have no option but to trust the police administration of our society for the redressal of our grievances and the recovery of our money and make sure no one else has to be deprived of their hard earned money with the promise of a bright future .
Therefore, in this regard, I would request you to kindly look into the matter and take strict action as per law for which I would be greatly obliged.
Thanking You
Yours faithfully
