DHAKA, Feb 23, 2025 (BSS) - A court here today acquitted six people, 
including actor, producer, and industrialist Ananta Jalil, of all the charges 
in a case lodged over forgery.

The other people acquitted by the court are-- Jahanara Begum, Md Sharif 
Hossain, Sakibul Islam, Md Milon and Shahidul Islam.

Dhaka Additional Metropolitan Magistrate Md Sanaullah passed the order as 
plaintiff of the case said they have reached a compromise already and pleaded 
to withdraw his complaint. 

A businessman named Shafil Nawaj Chowdhury filed the case with Dhaka 
Metropolitan Magistrate Court on December 24, 2023. The court, after 
recording the statement of the complainant, asked PBI to probe allegations 
and submit a report in this regard. 

Following the court's order, PBI submitted its report on November 23, 2024.

According to the case documents, Polo Composite, owned by Ananta Jalil, made 
an order for some garment goods to Chowdhury on October 17, 2022. 

Shafil Nawaj Chowdhury started producing the garment products, but he was 
never paid by Polo Composite. The company finally, on March 15, 2023, opened 
an LC account with Mercantile Bank in the name of Shafil. When Shafil handed 
over all the orders to Polo Composite and tried to withdraw his dues from the 
bank, he couldn't do it due to problems with the LC documents.

The complainant said that in spite of preparing and delivering products worth 
USD 29,200, he is yet to receive payment from the company represented by the 
accused.
