A Dhaka court on Thursday granted Evaly founder and CEO Mohammad Rassel bail in nine more cases filed against him over cheque fraud. 

Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate granted him bail after a hearing yesterday. 

However, he cannot walk out of jail yet as there are other cases pending against him. 

On April 6, Rassel’s wife and Evaly, an e-commerce platform, Chairman Shamima Nasrin walked out of jail after securing bail in six cases. 

Earlier Rassel granted bail in at least five cases in a few days. 

The Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) arrested Evaly CEO Rassel and his wife Nasrin during a raid at their Mohammadpur residence in the capital in a case filed with Gulshan police station over allegations of embezzling customers' money on September 16 last year.

This came following the commerce ministry’s decision to request the home ministry to take legal actions against Evaly over violations of laws and deceiving customers on September 14.
