DHAKA, Sept 21, 2021 (BSS) - A court here today placed e-commerce 
company Evaly Managing Director (MD) and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) 
Mohammad Rassel on one day fresh remand in another case of money 
embezzlement. 

     Dhaka Additional Metropolitan Magistrate Hasibul Haque passed the order 
as police produced Rassel and his wife and Evaly Chairman Shamima Nasrin 
before the court after the end of their three-day remand in a money 
embezzlement case lodged with Gulshan Police Station. 

     Police after that pleaded for seven-day fresh remand of the couple in 
another money embezzlement case filed with Dhanmandi Police Station. Defence 
however, argued for their bail. After hearing both the sides, the court 
placed Rassel on one day remand, while sending Shamima Nasrin to jail. 

     Earlier on September 17, Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Atiqul Islam had 
placed Rassel and Shamima on three-day remand in the case filed with Gulshan 
Police Station. One Arif Baker, a customer of Evaly, filed the case with 
Gulshan Police Station.

     Mohammad Rassel and Shamima Nasrin were detained from their Mohammadpur 
flat in the afternoon on September 16.

     According to the case documents, Arif and a couple of his friends 
ordered some products through the e-commerce platform in the months of May 
and June. But they didn't get any product in spite of paying the money in 
advance. They repeatedly called the Evaly customer care numbers, but they 
didn't pay any heed to their calls. 

     On September 9, they went to the Dhanmandi headquarters of Evaly, where 
Evaly staff along with its CEO threatened them and said they (victims) would 
neither get their money, nor the products.
