The Crime Desk: It is rumored that Bangladesh Bank Governor Abdur Rauf is fleeing the country tonight! It is known that Saiful Alam Masood, the leader of S Alam Group, is making all the arrangements to move out of his trust in Governor Abdur Rauf. However, it was not confirmed that Rauf was going to any country.
A controversial Islam group has lost control over the financial sector of the country after the change of political pot. Meanwhile, the Islami Bank, which had been taken over by him, had revolted in Bangladesh. The central bank officials are also coming together against the governor of Bangladesh Bank, Abdur Rauf, who is close to S. Alam. Governor Abdur Rauf can resign in such a situation.
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina resigned from the country on Monday (July 5) in the face of a massive popular uprising. The effect of this political change is beginning to be felt in all areas. The financially powerful Islam Group was left powerless overnight.
The once powerful bureaucrat and Bangladesh Bank Governor Abdur Rauf has been shocked by the political change. He is apprehensive because of the illegal and unfair benefits given to the controversial Islam group. In this situation, he did not work on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, at the instigation of the Salam Group, the governor almost closed the access of journalists to the Bangladesh Bank. They protested continuously about this, but he was adamant in his decision. But in the changed situation today, Deputy Governor Kazi Saidur Rahman announced the withdrawal of the ban in a meeting with the journalists of Economic Reporters Forum and Bank Beat.

On July 3, 2022, Abdur Rauf was appointed as governor for a four-year term. He has been protecting the interests of Islam Group in many ways since his joining as governor. Banks under the control of the group were looting freely under the guise of loans, but Bangladesh Bank was always silent on the matter at the behest of the governor. As Salam Group withdrew thousands of crores from the banks through various strategies, including anonymous loans, they faced a severe liquidity crisis. To save the banks and give them new opportunities for looting, Bangladesh Bank prints money and lends them. And due to the printing of new money, the price of goods increases in the market, which the common people of the country have to suffer.
