Some news reports in a section of media regarding taking two employees of Rajshahi Branch of BRAC Bank Limited under police custody in Japanese citizen murder case has drawn our attention. 

Some media are filing reports that they were arrested by police. In fact they were taken into police custody for interrogation purpose. The reports with inappropriate words are undermining brand image of BRAC Bank Limited, which as a corporate organization is in no way related to the incident that led to police investigation.

BRAC Bank Limited strongly protests the news reports that associate the bank to the incident. 

However, BRAC Bank Limited is providing all cooperation to law enforcing agencies as part of the ongoing investigation into Japanese citizen Kunio Hoshi murder in Rangpur. We will strictly abide by procedures as appropriate to an incident that is under investigation.
