A ‘executive officer’ named Saiful Islam, working at the Southeast Bank branch in Atibazar, Keraniganj, is absconding with about Tk 50 crore. Money has been withdrawn from the accounts of various customers. The customers were in extreme distress when the matter came to light recently.
\nMany customers were seen crowding the bank this Sunday (November 30) morning. While some returned home with relief after checking their balance, many customers expressed disappointment after seeing their balances zero and closed. The accused officer Saiful Islam has been in hiding since the incident. After investigation, it was learned that Saiful Islam is the son of the deceased Sultan Ahmed of Sohag of Bashila (Householding Number 99\/1) area of \u200b\u200bRardini Mohammadpur.
\nThe head of the bank’s audit investigation, Rezaul Kabir, said that there is no possibility of any customer’s money being lost. Customers will get their money back as per the banking law. However, the exact amount of money withdrawn from the bank can only be confirmed after investigation. Meanwhile, it has been learnt from the victim customers that bank official Saiful Islam has embezzled around Tk 50 crore from more than 150 to 200 customers.
\nA businessman named Suman had Tk 1.1 crore in his account but today he came and found that the account was empty. An old man named Nuruddin of Ghatarchar said that there was Tk 4 lakh 75 thousand but now there is only Tk 4 thousand. However, he does not know how the account became empty. On the other hand, customer Nazrul Islam said that his account had Tk 7 lakh 73 thousand but he received an SMS to withdraw money from it. Later he came to know that like many others, his money has also disappeared.
\nAlso, his daughter said that around Tk 1 crore has disappeared from the 3 accounts of Moktar Hossain Mukti of Basila. Another customer Ankhi Akhter said that although no money has been withdrawn from his account, the money of other customers has disappeared. We are also worried that when our money will also disappear.
\nRegarding the embezzlement of bank funds, branch manager Kartik Chandra Hazder said, “Money was withdrawn from the bank account without permission.” Based on such allegations, the matter of fraud and deception against branch executive officer Saiful Islam Sohag has been reported to the police. In addition, a complaint has been filed with the internal control and compliance department of the bank’s head office regarding the incident. He said that the audit team of the concerned department has already started the investigation process. In this regard, Keraniganj Model Police Station OC Monirul Haque Dablu told us, “After hearing about the incident, we conducted a preliminary investigation. But no one from the bank came to file a case. We spoke to them. The bank people said that they would file a case later.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
