Dhaka — Saiful Khan, a resident of the Kaptanbazar area of Cumilla Nagar filed a case against e-commerce company E-Orange in Comilla No. 1 Court on Sunday afternoon for embezzling Tk3 crore 96 lakh 81 thousand 311 from a customer.
Narail Awami League MP and former national cricket team captain Mashrafe bin Murtaza and five others from E-Orange have been named as defendants in the case.
The court judge directed Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate Masudur Rahman to take cognizance of the case and submit an investigation report to the Police Bureau of Investigation (PBI) by November 16.
