There is a rumor in the area that the three officers used to give money to businessmen secretly. The suspended bank officials were trapped for not paying it on time. They even gave Tk lakhs of CC loans to some businessmen.

A person who did not wish to be named said that the arrested bank officials secretly gave lakhs of taka from the money saved in the bank to local land traders without documents or documents. In return they get a commission or share of shares.
