Four Sonali Bank officials suspended

Sonali Bank authorities have suspended four of its officials following an order from the Bank and Financial Institutions Division (BFID). The decision came at yesterday’s board meeting of Sonali Bank, said the institution’s director Zaid Bakht.

We suspended four officials, including manager, deputy general manager and general manager controller of Adamdighi branch in Bogra, and also an official of our Dhaka office who was in charge of supervising that branch, he said.

In the wake of the latest burglary at Sonali Bank’s Adamdighi branch, the BFID asked the bank’s CEO Pradip Kumar Dutta on Sunday to immediately suspend the branch manager, deputy general manager and general manager controller of Adamdighi branch.

Robbers looted Tk 32 lakh from the Adamdighi branch by digging a tunnel to the bank’s vault room on Saturday.
