A Dhaka court has issued arrest warrants against e-commerce company Evaly’s Chairman Shamima Nasrin and her husband and company Managing Director Mohammad Russel in a cheque dishonour case on Sunday.
Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Mamunur Rahman Siddiqui passed the order as the both accused failed to appear before the court, plaintiff’s lawyer Advocate Mia Hossain told BSS.
One Tofazzal Hossain filed the cheque dishonour case against the couple with the court of Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Begum Afnan Sumi.
Recording the statement of the plaintiff, the court issued summons for both the accused to appear before it on January 10.
The plaintiff alleged that he had ordered a motorbike from Evaly, paying Tk 1.49 lakh on February 26, 2021.
He was supposed to receive delivery of the bike within 45 days of the order, or the e-commerce company had to pay him Tk 2.50 lakh.
After passing the 45 days’ time frame, Evaly gave him a City Bank cheque of Tk 2.50 lakh, which was ultimately dishonoured once he tried to cash it.
Mohammad Russel and Shamima Nasrin were detained from their Mohammadpur flat on September 16, 2021. Already a couple of customers have filed cases against them.
