Actor Tahsan Rahman Khan (DC), Rafiath Rashid Mithila, and Sabnam Faria could be arrested at any time if the allegations of cheating by a customer of e-commerce company Evaly are provedDhaka Mohanagar Police (DMP) Ramna Division Deputy Commissioner (DC) Sajjadur Rahman told reporters on Friday. Rafiath Rashid Mithila responded in this regard.
Did you know that there has been a case in your name?
I woke up on Friday morning and saw on some online portals that 9 people had been sued. That list includes the media, me, Tahsan, and Sabnam Faria. I have received phone calls from several people and journalists. I learned the details from them.
What is your reaction?
I'm in so much trouble. I have endorsed many company brands in my life. I have never faced such an incident. Artists or models do not view the company's financial report during a brand endorsement. But Evaly as a big brand has indeed promoted different organizations, different companies in different places. We are contracted based on how many ads, how many photoshoots will be done. We are artists, people have confidence in us, people follow us. We are added to spread the brand name. I have endorsed many big brands before, I am still endorsing brands. If these companies have a financial issue or the company has a fault, the artist cannot be blamed for that. It's hard to say.
How do you see the case?
I have learned from people's phone calls or newspapers that a case has been filed in my name. If there is a case, he will send a legal notice. I have not received that notice yet. I can't say now how I am looking at the matter for this.
How many days did you have an endorsement with Evaly?
There was a 1-year contract. But it was a month. The contract was signed in May this year. I have been hearing about various problems of the company since June. I moved then.
According to the plaintiff, they have been deceived because of you. What do you say?
I don't know yet what the case is about. Because I have not received the legal notice yet. I just joined Evaly and did a campaign. When I saw these controversies, I moved away.
What steps to take?
I will be able to decide what action to take after looking at the notice. Because I have never faced such a problem in my life before. This is the first time. I am very disappointed.
What kind of fear? What could happen?
I woke up in the morning and was surprised to see the matter. I'm sorry. I don't understand why I should be scared or apprehensive. Because I was not ready at all.
The case was filed on December 4. The news did not reach the ears in so many days?
No, I found out today. As far as I know, a legal notice comes if there is a case. No notice yet. Even after about a week, no one said the incident. Then how will people know that a case has been filed in his name? I don't understand what to say, what to do.
Victims say they sued for fraud
Suffering but we too. This is a problem for my professional, I am a public figure. Everyone knows how we are. Because of this case, my job, my place of honor has been tarnished. But not just this case, the whole Evaly incident has brought us into disrepute both personally and professionally. Because of this, I think I have been deceived myself.
How about being cheated on?
We did not get any benefit from here. Rather, our image has been damaged. They think we can be guilty of being deceived, but we are also deceived in terms of honor. We didn't know that Evaly could have such a problem. We have already suffered losses before the lawsuit because of the company's problems. Because, whatever the day, we were with the organization. For this reason, like the plaintiff in the case, we too have been professionally disrespected and deceived.
Do your family members know?
Yes, now everyone in the family knows. Because a lot of online news has been published a lot. Spread through social media. Now everyone in the family is saying, look, wait. Because, neither I nor my family was ready for such an event.
