You are using a wrong format mask. The m stands for month number and not minutes.

Change it to 

function server_time_as_per_users_zone($users_zone){
    $dateTime = new DateTime('now', new DateTimeZone($users_zone));
    $r = $dateTime->format("d-m-Y h:i A");
    return $r;
}

echo 'UTC           - ' . server_time_as_per_users_zone("UTC").PHP_EOL;
echo 'Europe/London - ' . server_time_as_per_users_zone("Europe/London").PHP_EOL;
echo 'Asia/Dhaka    - ' . server_time_as_per_users_zone("Asia/Dhaka").PHP_EOL;

RESULT:

UTC           - 19-04-2017 05:40:23 PM
Europe/London - 19-04-2017 06:40:23 PM
Asia/Dhaka    - 19-04-2017 11:40:23 PM
