BRAC Bank authorities have suspended their two officials for their involvement in opening an account fraudulently which is related to the misappropriation of fund amounting to Tk 185 million and for wrongful detention of Jahalam, who spent three years in jail on charge of the embezzlement.
The bank said this in a report submitted to the High Court bench of Justice FRM Nazmul Ahasan and Justice KM Kamrul Kader on Wednesday.
Advocate Md Assaduzzaman placed the report on behalf of the bank.
The two officers are Shyamoli branch's manager Sabina Sharmin and Asad Gate branch's operation manager Md Faysal Kayes.
The report said an account under the name of Mehrun Samad Traders was fraudulently opened by Abu Salek where he mentioned his name as Golam Mortoza.
The account was introduced by Md Faysal Kayes and afterwards approved by Sabrina Sharmin while they did not know the person.
Even the two officers went to Jahalam's workplace and identified him as Abu Salek and after suspension the BRAC Bank asked them to clarify as to why they went to Jahalam's workplace.
Sonali Bank authorities also submitted their reports in the HC yesterday where they acknowledged responsibility for the misappropriation of funds amounting to Tk 185 million and for wrongful detention of Jahalam.
The state-owned bank has also taken departmental action against its eight officers for their negligence over the misappropriation of the fund.
They include former managers of Mirpur Cantonment branch Azizul Hoque and Begum Akhlafun Nahar, former senior officer of the same branch Nizam Uddin, supporting sub-staff of the branch Md Moinul Hoque and supporting sub-staff of managing director's office Md Mizanur Rahman.
