Police submitted a charge sheet against three people including Evaly CEO Mohammad Rassel, his wife Shamima Nasrin and its vice-president Abdullah Al Mamun alias Akash in a fraud case.
Sub-Inspector Md Anisur Rahman of Dhanmondi police station, also the investigation officer (IO) of the case submitted the charge sheet on Saturday to the Dhaka Chief Metropolitan Magistrate (CMM) Court.
Sub-Inspector Md Helal Uddin, general recording officer (GRO) of CMM court confirmed the matter to Dhaka Tribune.
Police, however, dropped the name of the three others -- Evaly's manager Jahedul Islam Hemoy, its high official Nasir Ahmed and bike department officer Sakib Rahman -- from the charge sheet as IO failed to collect the address of the accused during the probe.
Of them, Rassel is now behind bars, while Shamima is out on bail.
Besides, Akash was shown as a fugitive on the charge sheet.
The IO also applied before the court to issue an arrest warrant against them.
On October 7, 2021, one Monir Hossain filed an embezzlement case with Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Court in Dhaka, against Rassel, Nasrin and four others on charges of misappropriating Tk,2,36,000.
According to the case statement --The plaintiff alleged that he had ordered three motorbikes from Evaly, paying Tk1.49 lakh on August 24 last year.
He was supposed to get the bikes within 45 days of the order or the e-commerce company had to pay him Tk2,36,000.
However, neither the motorbikes nor the money were provided by the company, the complainant added.
Earlier Rassel and Shamima were charged in two other fraud cases filed with Gulshan and Dhanmondi police stations.
