Controversial e-commerce platform SirajganjShop has reportedly embezzled over Tk47.43 crore from Nagad, a mobile financial service of the Postal Department, in just two days through fraudulence.
Nagad’s Senior Executive (legal wing) Touhidul Islam Chowdhury filed a case against Jewel Rana, owner of SirajganjShop, with Banani Police Station on 13 September.
According to the case statement, the e-commerce site embezzled the money through lots of refund requests to different customer accounts from 30-31 August.
During the time, Nagad detected five unusual issues – abnormal number of refund requests at the same time; repeated refund requests of the same amount of money from the same account; refund request was sent against the purchase order for which the goods were already successfully delivered; request was made to return more money than the actual amount of the order and refund requests were made to return money late at night.
“Jewel Rana was served with a show-cause notice after the fraudulent incident was revealed. At the same time, a refund request was also sent.
