Imrul Kayes Sumon, who is the president of the district’s Ishwardi Upazila JCD unit, went into hiding after he managed to withdraw Tk 81.2 million as loan from the local branch of Southeast Bank Limited on several occasions, police said.
The bank, however, started a case over the incident.

Previously, he took Tk 58.9 million as loan from the bank on several occasions.
On Thursday, he withdrew another Tk 22.3 million using his cash credit account, raising the total loan to Tk 81.2 million.
Since then, Sumon allegedly went untraced, said the sources.
Hearing the allegation, bank officials visited Ahmed’s business establishments and found the allegation ’true’.
Later, they informed the banks’ higher authorities and reported to police, said the branch manager Ahmed
When contacted to Sumon’s youger brother Shawan, he declined to comment.
