From Toronto Star:

According to allegations filed in court, Khan arranged a loan in the condo’s name and had two of his employees pose as board directors to obtain the loan. Without the board’s knowledge, he opened a bank account in the condo’s name and $3.1 million was deposited into the account in January.
This is baam-haater khel for people in Bangladesh. We own a flat in Uttara, and one of the renters of one of the other flats in the building made jal dolils and applied for bank loan for many lakh taka. Because the loan was being given against the housing society, this file went to Rajuk.

When one of the other flat owners wanted to sell his flat from the building, Rajuk gave objection saying that there is loan application against his flat. When he investigated, the story unfolded, and all the other flat owners went with da and bet (as in thick stick) to the renter's flat to beat up the man. For fear of his life and arrest, he dropped the loan application and he was evicted from our building.

In our case we got lucky that this fraud was uncovered and it didnt get far, but in civilised societies like Canada, not surprised that this same Bangali chor'er buddhi was so easy to perpetrate - it isnt an original idea tbh. In Bangladesh I would think this fraud takes place in a very high frequency, which all goes unreported! In Canada, such a thing causes national crisis, in Bangladesh its everyday occurrence.

If anything, amra Bangalirai amader nijeder jati'ke dubachhi - deshe bideshe.
