Staff Reporter : Depositors’ deposits have been embezzled in Bangladesh Commerce Bank. Bangladesh Commerce Bank officials, who are involved in various misdeeds during the country’s economic crisis, have been accused of using the salary accounts of officials at Bangladesh Commerce Bank Limited to withdraw a huge amount of money through credit and cheques in the name of Ujjivan Campaign, keeping their identities secret. Against the main branch of Bangladesh Commerce Bank Ltd. The incident was created through the operations of the branch manager and manager.
An aggrieved official of Bangladesh Commerce Bank Limited said that we are not saying anything for fear of personal security, job loss, transfer, administrative harassment and retaliation. Bangladesh Commerce Bank Limited has been financially weak and fragile for a long time. In such a situation, instead of protecting the remaining financial capacity of the bank, the interests of depositors and internal good governance, there is a deep concern in the bank that money is being withdrawn from the bank in unusual ways under the influence/instructions of the current chairman. On 04/06/2026, Chairman’s PS Rocky and Managing Director’s PS Hamidur Rahman accepted signatures on blank salary account checks from some officials. The officials were informed, “Chairman Sir has asked that the officers be promoted by filling up the target.” Whereas for the last two years, due to transfers, fear of dismissal, explanation calls by HR and various administrative pressures, many officials do not dare to ask any questions. Whatever instructions are given, we are forced to follow them in the interest of jobs and security.
Later, it was seen that an unusually large amount of money was credited to the personal/salary accounts of some officials by showing “Ohpabhrab Amdharhangh Ubdhrangrh Eidsadharmah (Turunrh)-2026”. According to the attached bank statement, some accounts were credited up to Tk 40,00,000/- and some accounts up to Tk 80,00,000/-. At the same time/later, the said money was withdrawn through cheque/check, which is present as a direct transaction record in the statement. That is, here it is not just a verbal complaint, but there is a record of both credit and debit transactions in the bank statement.
The victim told Daily Present Times that in fact, it was not given to us as a normal incentive or we are not the real beneficiaries of it. Rather, we feel that we have been unintentionally involved in a process of withdrawing money from the bank using our salary account. The concerned officers and employees may be shown as responsible in the future, but in reality we have been forced to do so due to administrative pressure, fear of losing jobs and long-term harassment.
To verify the matter, Bangladesh Bank has submitted CCTV footage dated 04/06/2026, main branch vault/cash movement, related checks, vouchers, approval letters, board.
The employees demand that the management approval documents, the actual policy of the Ujjivan campaign, the list of incentive approvals and the transactions of the related accounts be examined. Specifically, on that date, it will be possible to uncover how Delwar Hossain (SE VP) received money from the vault of the head office, Chairman’s PS and MD’s PS main branch, in which vehicle the money was taken and on whose instructions this process was completed by examining the CCTV and official records.
So far, we have not received any effective justice for various injustices, harassment and administrative torture. But the current matter is not limited to personal harassment. It is directly related to the bank’s money, the interests of depositors, the safety of officers and employees and overall banking good governance. We do not want to see ourselves unintentionally involved in any more irregular or illegal activities.
The matter should be investigated on an urgent basis, keeping the identity of the complainant strictly confidential. Arrangements should be made to preserve/seize the relevant CCTV footage, vault movement, cash withdrawal records, checks, vouchers and authorization letters dated 04/06/2026 immediately. The source, purpose, approval and actual beneficiary of the money credited to the relevant salary accounts in the name of Ujjivan Campaign and subsequent withdrawals/checks should be determined; the complaint of signing blank checks by the Chairman’s PS Mr. Rocky and the MD’s PS Mr. Hamidur Rahman and subsequent withdrawals should be investigated; necessary instructions should be given to stop the transfer, dismissal, explanation call, disciplinary action or any other retaliatory harassment against the complainant or any concerned officer or employee during the investigation; if the complaint is proven, necessary action should be taken against the concerned persons in accordance with the rules and regulations of Bangladesh Bank and prevailing laws.
