Tk 1.22cr stolen from RMG factory
Tk 1.22 crore was stolen from the vault of a garment factory at Dhaka Export Processing Zone (DEPZ) at anytime between Thursday night and yesterday morning.
Authorities of Shanta Industries Ltd suspected that its security guards, who were hired from a private security company, might be involved in the burglary.
Wing Commander (retd) Mahmud Islam, general manager (Human Resource Management) at the factory, yesterday filed a general diary with Ashulia Police Station in this connection.
He mentioned in the GD that they left the garment office around 8:35pm on Thursday keeping the money in the volt on the first floor of the building, but they found the volt broken at about 7:30am yesterday.
The official also stated that they found its CCTV camera broken and suspected the security guards might be involved in the theft.
Zahir Ahmed, general manager (Finance and Account), told The Daily Star that they drew the amount from a bank for paying salaries to their 2,200 employees.
"As all the money went missing, we could not pay the workers on the scheduled date today," he said.
Contacted, Sirajul Islam, officer in charge of the Ashulia Police Station, said they had visited the spot and are looking into the allegation.
