The court has banned GM Hasan Shahriar, the dismissed former branch manager of Madhumati Bank Plc Pabna branch, from traveling abroad for the purpose of investigating the case filed by the ACC on charges of embezzlement.
Pabna Senior Special Judge Judge Mohammad Waliul Islam gave this order on September 30. However, after receiving the copy of the judge's order in the morning on Tuesday (08 October), the investigating officer of the case ACC Pabna Deputy Assistant Director Md. Monowar Hossain confirmed the matter.
Manowar Hossain said, "On September 23, a case was filed against two people including GM Hasan Shahriar in Pabna district office with ACC on charges of embezzlement. Case number 28. There is information that the accused Hasan Shahriar may have fled abroad. In order to prevent him from fleeing abroad for the sake of the investigation of the case, an application was made in the Senior Special Judge Court of Pabna on September 30 seeking a ban on their travel abroad. On the same day, the court approved the application and banned him from going abroad. I will know after receiving the certified copy of his order on Tuesday.
Accused GM Hasan Shahriar is the sacked former branch manager of Madhumati Bank PLC Pabna branch. He is the son of Haider Ali of Hatghata village of Madhukhali upazila of Faridpur.
According to the documents of the case, GM Hasan Shahriar was working as a branch manager in Madhumati Bank PLC Pabna branch from 18/10/2018 to 20/02/2022. Jewel Rana, a former probationary officer currently working as an executive officer in the Rajshahi branch, was working in the same branch. Both of them in collusion with dishonest purpose, fraud and abuse of power broke the trust of customers and embezzled Tk 38 lakh 59 thousand 954 and caused damage to the bank.
Which is an offense punishable under Section 409/420/109 of the Penal Code and Section 5(2) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1947. That's why Moktor Hossain, deputy assistant director of the ACC Pabna office, filed the case as the plaintiff on September 23. The investigation in that case is going on.
The investigating officer of the case ACC Pabna Deputy Assistant Director Md. Monowar Hossain said that earlier Madhumati Bank authorities came to know about the money embezzlement in their internal audit report. Later GM Hasan Shahriar was dismissed and Jewel Rana was transferred to Rajshahi by the bank authorities. And information was given to ACC to investigate the embezzlement of money.
