Tk21,000 tickets sold for Tk240,000 by manipulation
A vested quarter has been involved in large-scale embezzlement through 'overbooking' manipulation of Biman Bangladesh air ticket sales for almost a year and a half. The ring has compelled a large number of Kuala Lampur-bound passengers to purchase Tk21,000 tickets for Tk2,40,000 in May. The scam involving high-ranking officials of Biman Bangladesh Airlines and travel agencies affected thousands of workers scheduled to fly to Malaysia.
