Shibir in Bogra, is accused of embezzling
around 200 crore taka from more than 5,000 Jamaat-e-Islami leaders and activists and then going missing. He embezzled this money by opening several institutions, including the 'Rainbow Multipurpose Cooperative Society', under the pretext of offering higher profits based on Sharia. The victims surrounded his institution and house, but could not find him.
After investigation and complaint, it was learned that Amiruzzaman Pintu, son of Dr. Abu Jafar, former leader of Islami Chhatra Shibir, Malgram Madhyapara, Bogra city, used to work at Fareast Islamic Insurance. He left this job and opened an organization called Rainbow Multipurpose Cooperative Society in Galapatti, Bogra city about a decade ago. He also started Rainbow Homes, Rainbow Krishi Unnayan Sangstha and Rainbow Hospital on Sherpur Road in the city's Colony area. Pintu inspired remittance fighters and retired government employees, especially leaders and activists of Jamaat-e-Islami. Since Pintu was a former camp leader, Jamaat-e-Islami leaders and activists trusted and invested in his organization.
Md. Fazlur Rahman, a retired associate
professor of Bogra Government Azizul Haque College, said that Pintu is a fraudster. After retiring from his job, he fell into Pintu's clutches in early 2016. He invested more than four lakh taka in the hope of getting more profit based on Sharia. Pintu used to give profit based on profit and loss in different periods. Religious people, especially leaders and activists of Jamaat-e-Islami, believe in this and invest.
Fazlur Rahman further said that Pintu,
believing that he was his student, kept giving money in stages. The last time he invested Tk 50 lakh at a time in 2023. He gave the money to Pintu's 'Rainbow Multipurpose Cooperative Society' and Rainbow Homes Limited by selling land from his wife and son. At that time, his investment amount stood at Tk 90 lakh. Of this, Tk 7 lakh has been returned to him. He will still receive Tk 83 lakh. Pintu, the chairman of those institutions, and Hamidul Haque Tota, the managing director, embezzled at least Tk 200 crore from more than 5,000 customers. After that, he has not been returning any of the money or profits since 2024. When pressed to return the money, they gave a date of May 15. When the creditors went to Pintu's house and Rainbow Hospital, he gave them a date of May 22 and returned it. When he went to his house that day, he gave them a time of June 2 to return the money.
