FE REPORT | January 30, 2025 00:00:00


A Dhaka court on Wednesday sentenced Evaly Chief Executive Officer Mohammad Rassel and his wife Shamima Nasrin to two years' imprisonment for embezzling Tk 1.41 million from a customer.

Judge of Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Court Partha Bhadra delivered the verdict in the case against the Rassel couple in absentia.

The court also fined them Tk 10,000, in default of which they will have to serve two more months in jail.

The jail sentence of the fugitive convicts will be in force from the day of their arrest or surrender, the court says in the judgement.

Earlier, the prosecution completed their arguments and sought the highest punishment for the couple.

During the trial, the court recorded statements of two prosecution witnesses, including the complainant.

On February 4 last year, Taufiq Mahmud filed the case against Evaly CEO Rassel and Chairman Shamima Nasrin for misappropriating Tk 1.41 million from him.
