Two officials of Barisal branch of Dhaka Bank have been prosecuted on charge of misappropriating Tk 64 million. Barisal Kotwali police station officer-in-charge Shakhawt Hossian said that Dhaka Bank vice-president Abdul Malek Howladar, also the Barisal branch manager, lodged the case on Monday night.
The complaint stated that KHM Asaduzzaman, immediate past manager of the branch, was transferred to internal control and compliance division at the head office of the bank on July 1 and he went into hiding on July 10 after joining there.
Assistant vice-president and credit officer of Barisal branch Humayun Kabir was also absent from the office since July 8.
