Sadia Jannat, aka Jannatul Ferdous, who was arrested on charges of cheating with ‘pot chai’ advertising, has been detained for two days for questioning.
The order was issued by Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Masud-ur-Rahman on Friday.
Earlier, CID Inspector Shariful Islam Sharif, the investigating officer on the case, presented the defendant Sadia at the Main Metropolitan Magistrates Court in Dhaka and requested a 10-day pre-trial detention. The defendant’s lawyer, Julhas Uddin Ahmed Sabuj, requested bail requesting the cancellation of his pre-trial detention.
After the hearing, the judge rejected the request for bail and ordered a two-day preventive detention.
According to the case file, a victim named Nazir Uddin presented the case at the Gulshan Police Station on September 18. Following the case, the CID arrested Sadia from the Gulshan area of the capital Thursday afternoon on the basis of charges. At that time, the victims’ passports, 10 mobile phones, three memory cards, seven seals, innumerable SIM cards, and an account book of the money embezzled through fraud were recovered.
‘Swindled millions of rupees’
Additional CID DIG Sheikh Rezaul Haider gave a press conference on Sadia Jannat at the CID office in Malibagh, the capital, this afternoon.
It read: “Although Sadia Jannat’s educational qualification is SSC, it is not understood in her speech or gestures that she is not a Canadian expatriate. And by using it, she has snatched more than 30 million rupees trapping different people. ‘
DIG Sheikh Rezaul Haider said: “On July 9, Sadia Jannat placed an advertisement in a national newspaper. The ad read: Established Businessman Canadian Citizen Childless Divorce Sadia Jannat. 36 years old, height 5.3 inches. Namaji Sadia wants an old pot interested in taking over Jannat’s business. Contact address Baridhara. A mobile phone number was also provided there. Nazir Hossain met Sadia Jannat at Gulshan-1 Thai Signature restaurant on July 12 by contacting her through that mobile phone. At the time, Sadia told Nazir that she would take him to Canada after the marriage and that he would have to take care of his 200 million rupee business there. The victim believes in these words of Jannatul. Later, Nazir initially presented Rs 1.5 lakh and a passport. Then the scammer told Jannatul Nazir that it was very cold in Canada, so he would bring his 200 million rupees from there. Will do business in the country later. And Nazir will take care of that matter.
Additional DIG from CID said, “Sadia Jannat turned off the phone taking a total of Tk 1.69 crore from victim Nazir Hossain for DHL tax / VAT / invoice on different dates to get the money back via DHL. Nazir later complained to the CID. After his arrest, his property worth Rs 20 million Tk was found in and around Dhaka after examining various documents.
DIG Sheikh Rezaul Haider said Sadia has snatched a large amount of money by trapping different people at different times since 2010. One of her accounts has been seized. We have a bill of around 25-30 crore rupees there. She has four bank accounts. We have a crore of rupees in them. She turned off her mobile phone when money was taken from victims. Attempts are being made to arrest more people involved in the scam.
