Maroof, who previously served as additional managing director of City Bank, took charge at Dhaka Bank in October last year.
Bank officials claimed that Maroof was forced to resign due to increasing interference by some former and current directors who became more active after the political transition. However, the chairman dismissed this allegation.

Under Bangladesh Bank regulations, an MD must notify the central bank of the reasons for resignation. The regulator then determines whether the resignation will take effect. In rare cases, resigned MDs have been reinstated and current directors who became more active after the political transition. However, the chairman dismissed this allegation.
