A Dhaka court on Monday (January 15) issued arrest warrants against Mohammad Rassel, the managing director of the e-commerce platform Evaly, and his wife Shamima Nasrin, in a cheque bounce case.
Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Md Ali Haider passed the order after the couple failed to appear before the court today.
Prosecution lawyer Sadikur Rahman Tamal confirmed the matter.
According to the case statement, Md Tanvir Hossain, a customer of Evaly, on March 13 of 2021 paid Tk 2.45 lakh to the company for buying a motorbike after seeing an advertisement. But the company failed to supply the motorcyle within the stipulated 45 days.
On September 13, Evaly provided a cheque of Tk 2.45 lakh to the customer but it was dishonoured as there were not sufficient funds in the account.
The customer then sent a legal notice through his lawyer on October 22 last year asking the couple to return the money they took for supplying a motorbike.
But the couple failed to return the money in time and the customer filed a case with the court on December 22 last year.
