“I told the court many cases come to them after the incidents occur. I urged the court if something can be done to prevent the matter. Some funds can be saved if steps are taken now. The court then asked me to file a writ petition.”
After the daily Prothom Alo reported the suspicious lending, lawyer Shishir and four other clients of the bank filed a petition with Bangladesh Bank Governor Abdur Rouf Talukder, seeking exemplary legal action after an investigation.
The clients said in the petition they, as depositors, were concerned about the reports of “unusual transactions” when Bangladesh is grappling with an economic crisis. The Business Standard and The New Age also published reports on the alleged scam.
