A Dhaka court on Tuesday ordered the freezing of 25 bank accounts belonging to former National Board of Revenue (NBR) chairman Abu Hena Md Rahmatul Muneem and former first secretary Eedtajul Islam in connection with a corruption inquiry.

Acting Judge Mohammad Alamgir of the Dhaka Metropolitan Sessions and Senior Special Judge’s Court passed the order following an application by the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC).

The ACC is investigating allegations that the two former revenue officials acquired illegal wealth through various irregularities and corruption.

ACC Deputy Director Md Saiduzzaman told the court that investigators had found suspicious and unusual transactions in the accounts and received information that the individuals were attempting to transfer or dispose of assets held in the accounts.

The ACC said freezing the accounts was necessary to prevent the transfer or removal of assets before the inquiry is completed.
