A Dhaka court on Sunday ordered the authorities concerned to confiscate Tk44.99 lakh deposited in 34 bank accounts belonging to former director general of the Special Security Force Mujibur Rahman and his wife Tasrin Mujib in connection with graft cases.
Dhaka Metropolitan Senior Special Judge Md Zakir Hossain Galib passed the order following a petition filed by the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC).
Additionally, the court ordered the confiscation of other properties belonging to Mujibur and his wife, including two flats and a plot of land.
Sirajul Haque, deputy director of the ACC, filed a petition seeking to freeze 24 bank accounts of Mujibur and 10 bank accounts of his wife Tasrin, along with their other assets.
According to the petition, Mujibur has been accused of abusing his power, engaging in various irregularities and acts of corruption while serving in different important government positions, and amassing wealth in his and his family members' names.
He is further accused of converting and transferring money or property obtained through crimes related to money laundering.
The petition states that he made suspicious transactions by depositing and withdrawing large sums of money in different bank accounts to conceal the illegal source of the funds.
