A case was filed on Wednesday against seven people including owners of the ecommerce platform Eorange in Chittagong on fraud charges.
The accused are Eorange owner Sonia Mehzabin, her husband Masukur Rahman, Chief Operating Officer Aman Ullah, Bithi Akter, former chief operating officer Zaidul Firoz, Nazmul Alam Russell and former police officer Sheikh Sohel Rana.
A customer named Nurul Abshar Parvez filed the case with the court of Chittagong Metropolitan Magistrate Hossain Mohammad Raza.
It has been alleged that even after paying the full amount in advance, the products remained undelivered for months.
The court took the case into cognizance and directed the Police Bureau of Investigation (PBI) to investigate it and take action.
Plaintiff's lawyer Golam Mawla Murad said: “Eorange has cheated millions of customers across the country. We have filed a case with the court seeking refund.”
