Some Tk 2,530 in cash, some blank cheques, and documents were recovered from inside two lockers of the e-commerce platform Evaly yesterday.

Asfia Sirat, executive magistrate of deputy commissioner office in Dhaka, was present when the lockers were broken into at the Evaly office in Dhanmondi. The members of the Evaly board formed by the High Court were also there.

The HC formed a five-member board of directors led by retired Justice of the Appellate Division AHM Shamsuddin Choudhury Manik after Evaly CEO Mohammad Rassel and his wife Shamima Nasrin, also the chairman of the company, were arrested in mid-September on various charges, including fraud.

The new board took over the management on October 16.

"We expected that there will be a huge amount of money and important documents. But, what is found is useless," said Justice Manik afterwards.

Five members of the board had visited Russel in jail and had asked about the combination of the lockers.

However, they failed to get the combinations.

The board then decided to break the lockers.

Justice Manik said they found Tk 2.45 crore of the company in Southeast Bank and City Bank last week and the High Court has given permission to withdraw it.

He said they are trying to get access to Evaly's server and appoint auditors to assess Evaly's assets and liabilities.
