Md. Mizanur
Rahman makes a living by buying torn, damaged, dirty, and defective banknotes
from the public at discounted prices. He then exchanges the notes at Bangladesh
Bank for new or usable currency and earns a profit.
Hoping to
make a return, he gradually deposited old notes worth Tk 370,000 at the Khulna
branch of Bangladesh Bank. The bank accepted the notes and stamped them as ‘sold.’
However, instead of paying the exchange value, the branch later returned the
same notes to him....
