A CB Official on the Verge of His Retirement Suspected to Have Removed Files Linked to Bond Scam at Night

According to the Central Bank procedure anyone, who wish to take any files from the Central Bank should first obtain a gate pass. But an official had arrived at the Bank around 7.30 pm and took a haul of files, which contained documents in his personal car without submitting gate pass. According to information received from highly placed sources the files suspected to have contained documents related to CB bond scam and this is an outright attempt to destroy evidence of the Treasury bond scandal. The Security Division officials have informed Central Bank Governor Dr Indrajit Coomaraswamy of the misdeed by the official. The official had claimed that he was removing some files belonging to him.

Senior officers of the Bank reported to have raised their concerns over the incident that had taken place while an investigation was in progress into the bond scams.
