Staff Reporter :

Some unruly officials of the Bangladesh Securities and Exchange Commission (BSEC) forcibly entered the ongoing meeting of the BSEC Chairman and Commissioners in the Commissioner Board Room.

This information was disclosed in a notification sent by the BSEC on Wednesday.
It said that in order to investigate various irregularities in the capital market in the past few days, the Bangladesh Securities and Exchange Commission formed an investigation committee and investigated various irregularities in 12 listed companies.

So far, the investigation committee has submitted seven investigation reports. Based on this report, the process of framing charges is underway, which includes various institutions of the capital market and some BSEC officials.

In addition, in view of various allegations, the Commission’s Executive Director Saifur Rahman was retired on March 4 as per the rules after completing 25 years of service.

Due to this action, some unruly officials forcibly entered the ongoing meeting of the BSEC Chairman and Commissioners in the Commission’s Board Room and blocked the meeting.

The notification mentioned that they locked the main gate of the commission, turned off the CCTV cameras and disconnected the electricity connection, creating an anarchic and frightening situation.
