A case has been brought to the police station after finding evidence of embezzlement by officers during the bank’s internal investigation. The case alleges the embezzlement of around Tk 12 crore against Ferdous Alam, a former bank manager, and Zulfiqar Ali, a senior executive and credit officer.
Among them, Zulfiqar escaped during an audit at the bank’s branch on October 15. The investigating officer on the case, Kafrul Police Station, SI Arif Uddin, said efforts were being made to arrest the accused. If Zulfiqar can be caught, the full picture of the forgery can be revealed.
Bank clients Nasir Uddin, Abdus Salam, Monirul Islam, Abdul Qayyum, Md. Helal Uddin, Dulal Ahmed, Liton Ali, Mahmud Hasan Paltu, Sheikh Mohammad. Sohail, Aminul Islam and Md. Enamul Haque have told them to take loans of various large sums from half a million rupees to two and a quarter rupees without their knowledge.
Among them, businessman Nasir Uddin said that when he went to ask for a loan from a bank to buy a flat, Bangladesh Bank did not give him authorization and he was able to find out about the loan through his usual distributor, the Premier Bank.
Later, when he went to the bank’s branch and reported on the matter, the officials gave an authorization saying there was no loan. He complained to the bank that he still had a loan from the Bank of Bangladesh. When others complained like this, the bank’s central audit committee launched an investigation at the Begum Rokeya Sarani branch of Premier Bank.
Later, the head of human resources, Kawsar Alam Majumder, vice president of Premier Bank headquarters, brought the case against Zulfiqar Ali, 40, and Ferdous Alam, 59, at the Kafrul police station.
According to the case, Premier Bank’s audit and auditing department approached the bank’s Rokeya Sarani branch on October 15 for regular audits. Members of the audit committee were unable to find the documents, forms and receipts for the FDRs and the dual benefit accounts of various clients kept at this branch and asked Zulfiqar Ali.
In the middle of the search for Zulfiqar, he suddenly disappeared with the original FDR documents and the Double Benefit Plan. An initial search revealed that 119 million taka had been embezzled against various FDR and double profit accounts.
In addition to Zulfiqar Ali and Ferdous Alam, several other officials and employees of the bank’s branch also participated in the scam.
Meanwhile, the banking authorities have removed six more suspects from the bank branch and kept them at the head office as OSD.
When asked about this, Shahriar Kabir, the current bank manager, told bdnews24.com: “The investigation is still continuing. Once the investigation is over, it will become clear who else is involved in the fraud, how much money has been embezzled. and who has been harmed. “
Victim Nasir Uddin told bdnews24.com: “I don’t have any loans in the bank. The exemption has also been taken after paying what there was. But the loan of around Rs 2.5 crore is shown, which is unbelievable. ”
Another client named Aminul Islam said that a loan of 1.14 million rupees had been taken in his name.
“I know nothing. I do not understand how this loan is in my name. I have never seen cillions of rupees. What will happen to me now, brother, will I be saved?
Mahmud Hasan Paltu, a small businessman, said the same. He said that the bank had said that a 56 lakh loan had been taken from Tk in his name.
“Earlier I had taken a loan of 15 lakh rupees. 7 lakh was due after payment. While my father was sick because of that money, the manager and Zulfiqar came to my house and treated me badly. Now it has been proven that I have a 56 lakh Tk loan in my name, about which I know nothing.
Paltu said he was also present during the bank’s audit on October 15. At that time I also abused the manager for what he had done to me for a loan of Rs 6 lakh when my father was ill. Now what makes such a large loan real?
“Brother, my head is not right. I do not know what to do now “.
Nasir Uddin told bdnews24.com: “We have verbally reported the matter to some audit committees and banking authorities. Let’s see what they do now.”
The branch manager, Shahriar Kabir, said Zulfiqar was one of the defendants in the case. Seven people, including former branch manager and vice president Ferdous Alam, were removed and transferred to headquarters.
The two defendants in the case could not be found calling their cell phones.
Rakib Uddin, a cousin of Zulfiqar, told bdnews24.com that they too could not communicate with Zulfiqar.
It was learned that the responsibility of investigating the case rests with the detective police. The additional deputy commissioner of the Metropolitan Police of Detectives, Touhidul Islam, said: “We will receive the documents of the case from the police station in a day or two.”
