Forever Living Products Country Sales Manager Arrested in India for MLM Fraud, $317K Frozen
Hyderabad police have arrested Harish Kumar Singla, the Country Sales Manager of Forever Living Imports (India) Private Limited. Authorities also seized a Mercedes Benz and froze Rs 3 crore (approx. $317,000) in bank accounts linked to him and the company.
Arrest Details
On April 26, 2026, police arrested 61-year-old Harish Kumar Singla from Gurugram, Haryana. He was taken into custody in connection with a large-scale multi-level marketing (MLM) fraud.
DCP Khareh Kiran Prabhakar stated that Singla and his associates cheated victims through deceptive recruitment schemes. They promised high commissions for joining and recruiting new members.
Massive Fraud Allegations
Indian authorities claim the scam caused losses of around Rs 600 crore (approx. $63.4 million). Nearly one lakh (100,000) people were reportedly affected.
The scheme operated under “Achiever’s Club,” a subsidiary of Forever Living Products. Youngsters aged 18 to 24 were the main targets. Each paid Rs 30,000 as a joining fee, received some products, and were told to recruit others for big commissions.
Link to Global Controversy
This arrest comes shortly after the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) ordered Forever Living Products to stop scamming consumers in the United States.
Despite the US injunction, the company continued operations in other countries, including India. India was the top source of traffic to Forever Living Products’ website in March 2026.
Current Status
Three criminal cases have been registered against Forever Living Products in India. Several associates and company employees are still wanted by police and remain on the run.
Investigations are ongoing. Forever Living Products is headquartered in Arizona, USA, and led by CEO Gregg Maughan, son of founder Rex Maughan. The company has not publicly commented on the arrest of its top Indian executive.
