Campaign for Evaly: Sabnam Faria gets permanent bail in fraud case

A Dhaka court today granted permanent bail to actress Sabnam Faria in a fraud case filed for her involvement with E-commerce platform Evaly.

Dhaka Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Md Rezaul Karim Chowdhury passed the order after Faria surrendered before it and sought bail in the case.

Earlier on December 13 last year, the High Court granted her anticipatory bail for eight weeks.

On February 3, the same court granted permanent bail to actress Rafiath Rashid Mithila in the same case.

On December 4 last year, an aggrieved Evaly customer -- Saad Sam Rahman -- filed the case at Dhanmondi Police Station against nine people including Evaly CEO Mohammad Rassel, chairman Shamima Nasrin, musician Tahsan Khan, and actors Mithila and Faria.

According to the case, celebrities Tahsan, Mithila and Faria were in different positions at Evaly. Because of their presence and their various promotional talks, Saad Sam invested Tk 3,18,000 in Evaly.

The plaintiff alleged that he got deceived because of the promotional activities of the celebrities.

Tahsan was the goodwill ambassador of Evaly, and Mithila was associated with Evaly as the face of the company's lifestyle products.

Shabnam Faria joined the company as its chief public relations officer.

Rassel and Shamima are currently in jail in another case filed against them over a fraud charge.
