Newly appointed administrator files GD against Ex-CEO Nagad

Dhaka, Sep 12 --A General Diary (GD) has been filed against Tanvir A Mishuk, the former Chief Executive Officer of Nagad, at Banani Police Station in Dhaka. The complaint was lodged by Muhammad Badiuzzaman Didar, the newly appointed administrator of Nagad.

The GD was officially recorded on September 5, after Didar alleged that Mishuk had sent him a “threatening message” via WhatsApp on September 4. Banani Police Station’s Officer-in-Charge, Russel Sarwar, confirmed the filing and stated that the authorities are investigating the matter.

The threat is being taken seriously, and an investigation is currently underway, said OC Russel Sarwar.

Sub-Inspector Mohammad Ali Saikat, the GD Investigation Officer, provided further details, noting that Didar had expressed feeling “threatened” by the content of the message.

The developments at Nagad come in the wake of significant changes within Bangladesh's financial sector. On August 5, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina resigned amid widespread student protests, leading to a wave of restructuring across various financial institutions. Subsequently, on August 21, the interim government dissolved the previous board of Nagad and appointed Didar as the new administrator. Bangladesh Bank has also deployed six additional officers to support the transition at the mobile financial services operator. - UNB
