The investors of Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE) formed a human chain in front of DSE building in Motijheel on Monday, protesting the continuous fall in share prices.
The protesters under the banner of Bangladesh Pujibadi Oikya Parishad demanded the authorities to bring stability in the stock market as indexes reached its lowest level on Sunday in over four months.
The protesters also demanded the resignation of Chairman Bangladesh Securities and Exchange Commission (BSEC) Khondoker Rashed Maqsood.
However, an official of the BSEC preferring anonymity told UNB that a group of beneficiaries of the previous government got annoyed with the regulator as the BSEC fined them and started an investigation for their involvement in market manipulation.
As a result, they are demanding the resignation of the BSEC chairman without any valid reason, said the official.
