The six FIR-named accused are former manager Molla Ali Ahmed, Foreign Exchange Officer Nazrul Islam, present Manager Mahatab Ahmed, Loan Officer Enayet Hossain, Junior Officer Mohammad Rafiqul Islam and Proprietor of Messers Amena Trading Abul Kalam Azad.

It has been stated in the FIR that accused Azad made a forged document showing him the owner of 12 acres of land that actually belonged to Saleha Khatun, wife of late Shaikh Hossain Ali of 25, Sharif Amzad Hossain Road under Daulatpur Police Station.

In connivance with five other accused, Azad withdrew the money from the bank on August 29, 2004.

When Saleha came to know the matter, she lodged complaint with the prime minister, finance minister, general manager of Khulna branch of Bangladesh Bank and the managing director of Al Arafa Islami Bank seeking their intervention to recover her land.

Fahima Yasim, senior assistant secretary to finance ministry who investigated the incident in October 2004, directed the manager of the Khulna branch of the bank to go for legal action against the persons involved in the financial scam.

But the manager did not carry out the order.

Upon this, Mohammad Kaiyum, son of Saleha, filed a petition with the court of Chief Metropolitan Magistrate (CMM) on May 11 last year naming six people as accused in forging the documents.

The CMM later ordered the officer-in-charge (OC) of Daulatpur Police Station to investigate the allegation.

The case was filed as allegation was proved true during the investigation.
