A Dhaka court on Thursday sent Md Amanullah Chowdhury, chief executive officer of e-commerce platform E-orange, to jail in connection with a case filed over embezzling around Tk 1,100 crore.
Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Abu Bakar Siddique passed the order after Md Aminul Islam, inspector of Gulshan Police Station and also investigation officer of the case, produced Amanullah and sought a 10-day remand prayer for quizzing him.
The court, however, set August 23 for hearing the remand prayer in the case.
Wednesday, police arrested Amanullah from the capital's Gulshan area for his alleged involvement with embezzlement of money from customers.
Meanwhile, another Dhaka court issued a travel ban against five people, including two former owners of E-orange, in the same case following an application.
The five people are E-orange former owners Sonia Mehjabin and her husband Masukur Rahman, Amanullah, Bithi Akter and Kausar Ahmed.
A customer -- Md Taherul Islam -- filed the case against the five on Monday night over embezzling nearly Tk 1,100 crore, alleging the platform was not delivering products purchased since April 28 this year, according to the police.
In the case statements, the complainant said the products were supposed to be delivered within an agreed period, but it did not happen.
