Suppliers say Dhamaka owes Tk200 crore to 650 merchants, apart from having 100,000 pending deliveries worth Tk100 crore CollectedTongi resident brings fraud charges involving Tk11.5 lakhA customer has brought fraud charges against 11 officials of online marketplace Dhamaka, including its chairman, managing director and CEO, for charging him for products that were not delivered. One Shamim Khan, a resident of Gazipur’s Tongi, filed the case with the Tongi West police on Thursday, said Officer-in-Charge Shah Alam. “We are investigating the fraud allegation,” the police officer told Dhaka Tribune. After waiting for a month past the due date, Dhamaka issued two cheques as refund, but they bounced due to insufficient balance in the accounts, according to the case documents. Shamim contacted the Dhamaka offices and its CEO Sirajul Islam Rana over the purchases on August 5, when Rana responded with threats, OC Alam said citing case documents.
