Court freezes assets of ex-RAB DG Harun, wife

A Dhaka court has ordered to freeze bank accounts and savings certificates belonging to former Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) Director General and Additional Inspector General of Police Md. Harun-ur-Rashid and his wife, Fateha Parveen Luna, over allegations of illicit wealth accumulation and money laundering.

The order was issued on Tuesday by Judge Md. Sabbir Foyez of the Dhaka Metropolitan Senior Special Judge Court following a petition filed by Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC).

According to ACC, the couple is under investigation for allegedly amassing nearly Tk 1,000 crore in illegal assets. To prevent the transfer or concealment of funds, the court ordered the freezing of fixed deposits held with One Bank and savings certificates under National Savings Directorate, amounting to more than Tk 64 lakh.
