It further said the plaintiff had signed an agreement with Destiny 2000 Ltd to handover his shares on condition that the company would payoff his bank loans. But as the Destiny did not fulfil the condition the agreement was cancelled, the plaintiff said.

The parliamentary standing committee on finance ministry has asked the government to investigate the allegations after reports by Bangladeshi media.
