A Dhaka court on Thursday order for the attachment of properties belonging to e-commerce platform Evaly’s Chairman Shamima Nasrin and Chief Executive Officer Mohammad Rassel in a cheque fraud case.
Dhaka’s additional Metropolitan magistrate Tofazzal Hossain passed the order, accepting a petition submitted by the lawyers of the complainant in the case. It also asked to submit a report on November 16 in this regard.
Mehadi Hasan Khan, a customer of Evaly, filed the case with Dhaka Chief metropolitan Magistrates court against Evaly’s Chairman Shamima Nasrin and CEO Mohammad Rassel on November 28 last year.
According to the case, on January 23, 2021, Mehdi Hassan Khan ordered three motorcycles, a mobile phone and some gift cards from Evaly and he paid Tk 8.54 lakh to the company.
The goods were supposed to be delivered within a specified period of 45 days but Evely failed to deliver the products. On March 9, Mehdi Hasan was given a cheque for the value of Evaly products. But when he deposited the cheque on July 5, it was dishonoured.
RAB arrested Rassel and Shamima from their flat in the capital’s Mohammadpur area on September 16 last year after another customer filed a case with Gulshan police over embezzlement.
Later, the couple was shown arrested in several cases filed against them at different police stations over embezzling customers’ money.
Shamima has been out on bail but her husband and the company’s Managing Director Rassel is still in jail.
