A case was filed yesterday against Nur Mohammad, former manager of Sonali Bank (corporate branch) in Bogra, and eight others for opening a fake account.

Sharmin Akter, a lecturer of Sylhet Agricultural University, filed the case with Bogra Senior Judicial Magistrate's Court accusing eight persons including the banker and her former husband Zulfikar Ali.

Judge Md Shariful Islam, ordered the detectives to investigate the case.

According to the case, a fake bank account (savings account no 3424922) was opened in the name of Sharmin  Akter  by her former husband Zulfikar Ali on May 2016, with Bogra Sonali Bank (corporate branch).

Nur Mohammad and his colleagues helped her former husband to open the account using her details without her authorization, alleged Sharmin.

Meanwhile, several cheques from the account were submitted to different branches of Sonali bank in four districts by Zulkifar and his cohorts. They were all dishonoured.

Sharmin was later sued for dishonor of the cheques in those districts. The cases filed against her now demand that she pays Tk 59 lakhs.

Contacted, Abdul Hakim, the current manager of Sonali Bank (corporate branch) in Bogra said, "I don't know anything about this issue. I just joined the branch seven days ago.”

However, this correspondent could not contact Nur Mohammad on this issue.
