Toufiq Ahmad Choudhury, incumbent director general of Bangladesh Institute of Bank Management (BIBM), and Abdul Bari, former president of Institute of Chartered Accountants of Bangladesh (ICAB), were appointed as members of a three-member body to probe the massive ups and downs in the stockmarket in the last two years.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) published a circular on Wednesday announcing the names of the members and terms of references for the probe committee, asking it to submit report within two months.

The government on Tuesday announced the formation of the committee and made Krishi Bank Chairman Khondkar Ibrahim Khaled its chief.

The committee was earlier asked to submit its report within three months.
