Jumbangla Desk: Chairman of Cambrian Education Group BSB Global Network. Accusing Khairul Bashar Bahar and his associates of embezzling Tk 200 crores from more than 1,000 students, the victimized students have demanded their punishment from the interim government.

They made this demand at a press conference organized at Zahur Hossain Chowdhury Hall of Jatiya Press Club on Thursday (October 17).

A student named Rumon Ali Lashkar said in a written statement on behalf of the victimized students in the press conference, BSB Global Network takes money from us by enticing us to get admission in Canada, America, Australia and various universities of developed countries for higher education abroad. As per the law of Bangladesh, the session fee of the college has to be paid through Bangladesh Bank. But they don't do that, money laundering is illegal. They embezzled that money from us. Basically, the rule is to send the college money through Bangladesh Bank through the student account. But instead of doing that they cheated us by making fake offer letters of foreign colleges, not sending money.

He said that the number of victims like us is about a thousand and the amount owed by each of them is an average of 20 lakhs. According to the list provided by BSB Global Network there are more than 850 students. But in our opinion, they have embezzled 200 crores from more than 1000 students.

A victim student said that on August 27, BSB chairman Bashar and the creditors' delegation signed an agreement on stamp paper that the owed money would be paid in 3 installments on September 23, October 22 and November 25 respectively. But failed to pay on the first installment payment day (23 September 2024) and attacked the students with his gang of goons. Many students were injured there, which the Gulshan Thana police is aware of.

He said that many have filed cases of GD, fraud and check forgery in desperation for money recovery and security and filed written complaints with various security-law enforcement agencies and various government departments concerned. At present BSB has shut down global network operations for approximately 20-25 days. All mobile numbers have been blocked. Not communicating with our students. Chairman Khairul Basar is in hiding.

Rumon Ali Laskar demanded punishment against the Chairman of BSB Global Network Khairul Bashar Bahar and his associates, said that the embezzled money was recovered, the accused organization BSB Global Network and Chairman Md. Urgent appeal to administration and interim government to take legal action against Khairul Bashar Bahar and his associates.
