Close on heels of reports, which claimed that the Criminal Investigation Department of the police in Bangladesh has brought charges against the online marketplace Dhamaka Shopping of laundering money worth around Taka 1.16 billion, the Seller Association in Bangladesh has claimed that e-commerce entity Dhamakashopping.com (Invariant Telecom Bangladesh Limited) owes more than Taka 200 crore to its suppliers and sellers even as the Seller Association plans to hold a press conference soon to address this issue.
Reports maintained this adding the Seller Association, in a letter sent to a new daily in Bangladesh, reportedly, underlined that more than 650 sellers supplied products to the said e-commerce entity but it was not paying dues owed to the sellers and the suppliers.
…They have been operating on a limited scale since June this year, maintained the letter further adding that several attempts have been made to contact authorities of Dhamaka Shopping as well as those from the Government bodies to get their money back, but in vain.
It may be mentioned here that of late many e-commerce entities in Bangladesh are facing allegations of fraud for their alleged failure to deliver products after offering lucrative discounts.
