A special court in Dhaka has issued an arrest warrant against e-commerce platform Evaly chairman Shamima Nasrin in a case filed under the Digital Security Act (DSA).
Judge Mohammad Ash Shams Zaglul Hossain of Dhaka Cyber Tribunal passed the order on October 19, scrapping her bail in the case.
"October 19 was fixed for passing order on taking the charge sheet into cognizance. Accused Shamima didn't appear before the court, instead pleaded for more time through her lawyer,” tribunal bench clerk Shamim Al Mamun told BSS.
“The court after that issued the warrant against her and set January 22 for holding a hearing on charge framing in the case," he added.
A customer named Alamgir Hossain filed the case against Evaly managing director Mohammad Rassel, its chairman and Rassel's wife Shamima Nasrin on September 30, 2021, with the capital's Badda Police Station.
According to the case documents, the plaintiff ordered goods of Tk 28 lakh from the e-commerce platform through his two accounts and paid the money in advance.
Although Evaly was supposed to deliver the goods within 45 days of the order, he didn't receive them even after seven months. The customer later filed the case. Investigation officer and CID sub-inspector Prodip Kumar on September 16, 2022, filed a charge sheet against Shamima and Rassel.
