Police dispersed a group of angry traders demonstrating outside Dhaka's Stock Exchange yesterday after share prices sank to a three months low.

The country capital's benchmark DSE General Index - largely unscathed by the global economic turmoil - fell nearly 2 per cent in the morning trade after shedding more than 2 per cent on Sunday.

Fazlur Rahman officer in charge of Motijheel Police Station said that about 40 stock market workers gathered outside the exchange demanding that its president resign.

''They shouted 'why is the stock price falling?' They also called for the president to quit,'' Rahman said.
