A Dhaka court today issued a travel ban against five people, including two former owners of e-commerce platform eorange, in a case filed for embezzling around Tk 1,100 crore.

Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Rajesh Chowdhury passed the order, following an application submitted by the investigation officer, court sources said.

The five people are eorange's former owners Sonia Mehjabin and her husband Masukur Rahman, Amanullah, Bithi Akter, Kausar Ahmed.

Earlier, Dhaka's Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Md Abubakar Siddique sent Sonia and Masukur to jail after the couple surrendered before the court, seeking bails in the case.

On Monday night, Md Taherul Islam, a customer, filed the case against the five with Gulshan Police Station in the capital over embezzling nearly Tk 1,100 crore, alleging the platform was not delivering products purchased since April 28 this year, said Aminul Islam, inspector (investigation) of the police station.

In the case statements, the complainant said the products were supposed to be delivered within an agreed period, but it did not happen.

The complainant said they were not getting assurance that they would get their money back.

"Confusions have been created over change in ownership [of the company]," said Taherul, who was accompanied by several other eorange customers when the case was filed.
