Chargesheet in court against the owner of Apon Jewelers
  Date : 29-03-2024
Online Desk: A chargesheet has been filed against Dildar Ahmed Selim, the owner of Apon Jewelers, in a case filed against him for hoarding gold ornaments through tax and tax evasion.
 
 
Assistant Revenue Officer Delwar Hossain handed over the chargesheet to the concerned General Registration (GR) branch of the Dhaka Chief Metropolitan Magistrate`s Court on February 23 in the money laundering case filed at Ramna Police Station.
 
Court sources said on Tuesday.
 
Apon Jewelers has been charged with tax evasion of Tk 26.52 crore and money laundering.
 
According to the source, Apon Jewelers smuggled Tk 190.06 crore to buy 13 and a half ounces of gold and 4,500 diamonds at different times. The company has evaded that amount of tax.
 
Incidentally, the name of Apon Jewelers came to the fore in the much-discussed incident of rape of two university students at the Raintree Hotel in Banani in June 2016. Safat Ahmed, the only son of Dildar Ahmed Selim, the owner of the company, was arrested as the main accused in the rape case and went to jail. The rape case was on everyone`s lips for at least 6 months as Talk of the Country.
 
Many videos related to this then went viral. Demonstrations and human chains were held in various places demanding exemplary punishment for the culprits. The TV talk show was loud for a long time. As a result, the government and the officials of the concerned agencies are facing a kind of pressure on the issue. That`s why snakes come out to dig earthworms. Customs detectives seized about 15 and a half gold ornaments from 5 showrooms of Apon Jewelers in one operation after another.
