Investigate Agriventure Fraud, Protect Investors

Dear Sir,

I would like to draw attention to an alleged crowdfunding investment scam involving Agriventure Ltd, which has reportedly defrauded dozens of Bangladeshis of crores of taka. The company, led by its co-founder and CEO Rabib Ridwan, attracted investors by promising 5 to 18 per cent returns from agricultural ventures, including rice trading and potato and onion storage. However, it stopped all payouts in June 2025, leaving investors unable to recover their money.

Despite repeated complaints, the victims remain unpaid, while the company allegedly continues seeking fresh investments. Several legal proceedings have already been initiated, including a case under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act (Case No. 5581) and another criminal case (CR 568/25).

I urge the authorities, particularly the BFIU and law enforcement agencies, to investigate the allegations, trace the funds and take necessary legal action. Public awareness is equally important to prevent further financial losses.
