The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) today started inquiry against e-commerce platform Evaly following a Commerce Ministry request to take legal action against the company over allegedly embezzling or illegally withdrawing Tk338 crore taken in advance from customers and owed to merchants.
The commission formed a two-member inquiry team, led by Assistant Director Mamunur Rashid Chowdhury. Another member of the team is Deputy Assistant Director Shihab Salam, sources in ACC confirmed.
On 4 July, the commerce ministry sent separate letters to Home Ministry, ACC, Directorate of National Consumer Rights Protection and the Bangladesh Competition Commission to take legal action by investigating the non-delivery of goods after accepting an advance of Tk214 crore from customers and the refund of Tk190 crore owed to businesses.
