Amway fraud case - Sify Tech CEO gets warrant

It might sound bizarre. A case of fraud filed against MLM marketing company Amway has put datacom company Sify CEO Kamal Nath in the dock. Kozhikode crime branch officials have issued a warrant to Kamal Nath. According to a recent report in New Indian Express, it said that the Economic Offences Wing of the Kozhikode Crime Branch has arraigned officials of Chennai-based Sify Technologies as an accused in the Amway multilevel marketing fraud case.

The report stated quoting official sources that Sify Technologies despite the warning from them 3 months ago to stop its services to Amway has been providing its services. The report quoting P.A.Valsan, Superintendent of Police, Economic Offences Wing, Crime Branch, Kozhikode said, "In the letter, we clearly pointed out that Amway India Enterprises has been engaged in money chain business in the state, which is illegal, and hence Sify should stop their services to Amway with immediate effect".

In this regard Sify CEO Kamal Nath has been charged with section 109 (abetment) of the IPC and listed as the 14th accused. The report also says that a warrant has also been issued by the Chief Judicial Magistrate Court in Kozhikode.

We could not reach Sify spokes person for a comment at this point in time. More details are awaited on the case that can be categorized as a case of Internet Intermediary liability.
