CHITTAGONG, Sept 11: Incidents of deception worth about Tk 2.0 billion took place in Chaktai-Khatunganj area of the port city during last ten years. Of the amount, Tk 820 million have been taken away through deception this year.
In the absence of ethical values in business organisations, incidents of deception and other types of financial crimes are taking place frequently, business sources alleged.
It appears from the decade-long statistics that incidents of financial crime are on rise in Chaktai-Khatunganj area. As a result, genuine businessmen have become worried and frustrated. On the other hand, those who resort to cheating and deception still remain untraced.
Out of the dishonest organisations, owner of G R Trading is reported to have settled the matters relating to incidents of deception on the basis of an understanding initiated by his near relatives and some other businessmen of the area this year. Bangla Trading, a dishonest organisation, refunded a very big amount of money at the initiatives of some local businessmen in 2007, business sources said.
According to the Chaktai-Khatunganj Business Association sources, no action was taken in the past deception cases. Normal business atmosphere of Chaktai-Khatunganj area is at stake for not conducting proper investigation into the incidents, sources resented.
