Amidst recent reports that e-commerce entity ringID had acquired Taka1,080 crore from people by offering jobs as agents and brand promoters in exchange for money, the Criminal Investigation Department or CID has decided to take help from the Interpol to bring back the owners of e-commerce entity.
Speaking to the media, Additional DIG (Cyber Investigation and Operations) Kamrul Ahsan, reportedly, said this while adding on request of the CID, the country’s central bank, Bangladesh Bank has seized around Taka 200 crore from ringID even if the CID claimed the actual amount taken by ringID was much higher and there is no trace of it yet.
According to media reports, a Dhaka court had on 5 October sent Director of ringID Saiful Islam to jail in a case lodged under the Digital Security Act (DSA) — a woman named Ankhi Begum filed the case against 25, including Saiful Islam, alleging that she was conned after investing in ringID — while the CID had arrested a ringID agent Redwan Rahman from capital Dhaka recently.
It may be mentioned here that two Bangladeshi expatriates from Canada, namely Sharif Islam and Ayrin Islam, are the founders of ringID.
