Four deputy governors of Bangladesh's central bank were forced to resign on Wednesday after approximately 300-400 officials protested against alleged corruption by top officials, according to two sources at the bank.

The protests called for accountability among the senior leadership, as employees expressed their dissatisfaction with the governance of the central bank. Bangladesh Bank governor Abdur Rouf Talukder and two deputy governors were notably absent from the office during the protests, the sources, who wished to remain anonymous, informed Reuters.
