Law enforcement agencies are gathering information on this, he further said.
Yesterday, Finance Minister AHM Mustafa Kamal said that stern action will be taken against people who will try to artificially increase the price of the US dollar.
"Many are making import arrangements by hiking the [dollar] price. Denied by one bank they are moving to another offering a higher price. The government is working to put an end to this," he said.
