People whose wealth was plundered from the safety of the lockers of the BRAC Bank have expressed their anxiety over the prospect of receiving compensation as promised by the bank on April 10.

The apprehension heightened as the Bank authority showed insipid attitude in informing the progress of the process for payment of the compensation, said the affected people yesterday at a press conference in Hotel La-Vince in the city.

Jewelleries and important documents worth millions of taka deposited in 76 lockers of Sukrabad branch of BRAC Bank were looted by bandits at night of January 5.

The BRAC Bank authorities had promised to pay compensation to the victims within three months. In the press conference, 30 of the victims presented the list of their wealth lost in the robbery.

"The refusal of the senior officials of the bank to give a firm date has raised our apprehension about the payment of compensation by April 10 as promised," claimed one of the representatives of the victims, Rabed Khan.
