When asked about the exact number of cases filed against Russell, the lawyer said, “There are many cases filed against him. New cases are also being filed. I cannot say the exact number of cases filed against him at this moment.”
On September 15, 2021, a customer named Arif Baker filed a lawsuit against Mohammad Rassel and his wife Shamima Nasrin –accused them of frauding and embezzling – with Gulshan police station.
RAB arrested them from their house on Sir Syed Road in Mohammadpur the next day.
Shamima Nasrin is currently out on bail.
