In a significant development, a Dhaka court has authorized the issuance of arrest warrants against Mohammad Rassel, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Evaly, and his wife Shamima Nasreen, the company's Chairman, in three separate cases related to allegations of fraud.

The order was passed by Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Farah Diba Chanda following a hearing held on Monday afternoon.

Sakibul Islam, the lawyer representing the plaintiffs, confirmed the court's decision, stating, "In three distinct cases, Mohammad Rassel, the Managing Director (MD) of Evaly, and Chairman Shamima Nasreen were summoned to appear before the court. However, they failed to attend the proceedings. Subsequently, we requested the court to issue arrest warrants against them, and the court granted our application."

Details provided in the complaints outline the alleged fraudulent activities perpetrated by Evaly and its executives. In the first case, plaintiff Tanveer Ahmed alleges that on January 30, 2021, he paid Tk2,96,348 to the defendants for the purchase of a motorcycle. However, despite the payment, the motorcycle was not delivered, and the defendants issued a cheque for the same amount, which bounced. Consequently, Ahmed filed a Complaint Register Case (CR Case) in court on February 4.

Similarly, in the second case, plaintiff Md Main Uddin claims to have paid Tk2,99,740 to Evaly for a motorcycle purchase on March 26, 2021. Once again, instead of receiving the motorcycle, Uddin was given a cheque of the same amount, which failed to clear. As a result, Uddin filed a CR case in court on February 4.

Lastly, the third case involves Tawfiq Mahmood, who alleges that on March 20, 2021, he paid Tk8,35,000 to Evaly for the purchase of three motorcycles. However, like the previous instances, Mahmood received a cheque of the same amount instead of the motorcycles, leading him to file a CR case in court on February 4.

The issuance of arrest warrants underscores the gravity of the allegations against Evaly's top executives, signaling a legal crackdown on fraudulent practices within the company.
