The move comes as Islami Bank faces a severe liquidity crisis, with its current account with the central bank falling into a deficit of around Tk 4,000 crore in the past two weeks amid protests and controversy surrounding Khurshid Alam's appointment

The bank had previously asked for Tk 100 billion in support amid a swathe of deposit withdrawals

The move comes amid liquidity pressures at the bank following unrest over the appointment of its new chairman last month
