Charge framing hearing in fraud case against Evaly’s CEO on Jan 22

A Dhaka court today fixed January 22, 2023 for hearing on charge framing against e-commerce platform Evaly's Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer Mohammad Rassel and two others in a fraud case.

The two other accused are Rassel's wife Shamima Nasrin, also chairman of the e-commerce platform, and its vice-president Abdullah Al Mamun alias Akash.

Of them, Rassel is now behind bars, while Shamima and Akash are now on bail.

Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Farah Diba Chhanda passed the order after Akash's lawyer submitted an application, seeking an adjournment of the hearing.

Sub-Inspector Md Anisur Rahman of Dhanmondi Police Station, also the investigation officer of the case, on September 10 submitted the charge sheet to the Dhaka Chief Metropolitan Magistrate's Court.

The IO dropped names of three others--Evaly's manager Jahedul Islam Hemoy, its high official Nasir Ahmed and bike department officer Sakib Rahman--from the charge sheet as their correct addresses were not found.

On October 7 last year, Monir Hossain of Uttara Paschim, filed a complaint case with the CMM Court against Rassel, Shamima and four others on charges of misappropriating Tk, 2,36000.

The case was registered with Dhanmondi Police Station on October 17 the same year following the court order.
