“Incidents of attack on branch offices of some banks and ATM booths at various places took place recently,” said central bank’s Deputy Governor SK Sur Chowdhury.
“We have a responsibility to ensure security of state-institutions like banks and other financial institutions. So, we have asked the home secretary to improve security there,” Sur told bdnews24.com.
Bangladesh Bank Governor Atiur Rahman had also earlier made a similar request to the Home Secretary over phone.
Some branches and ATM booths of the Islami Bank Bangladesh Limited were attacked during a countrywide anti-Islamist agitation demanding death penalty for 'war criminals'. Many feel the Islami Bank was targeted as it is linked to the Jamaat-e-Islami whose leaders are facing war crimes trial.
The Islami Bank, on Feb 20, in a letter to the Bangladesh Bank requested urgent measures to ensure security of its branches.
