DHAKA, Sept 23, 2021 (BSS) - A court here today ordered police to
interrogate e-commerce platform Evaly managing director (MD) and chief
executive officer (CEO) Mohammad Rassel for one day in jail gate in a fraud
case.
Dhaka Additional Metropolitan Magistrate Hasibul Haque passed the order as
police produced Rassel before the court after the end of his one-day remand
in a fraud case filed with Dhanmandi Police Station. After that police filed
a plea to place him on five-day fresh remand in another fraud case lodged
with Dhanmandi Police Station.
Rassel's lawyer, however, argued for his bail. After hearing both the
pleas, the court ordered police to interrogate Rassel for a day in jail gate.
The same court on September 21 had placed Rassel on one day remand, while
sending his wife and Evaly chairman 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.
