The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has ordered freezing the bank accounts of former BNP lawmaker Advocate Ruhul Kuddus Talukdar Dulu and his wife Sabina Yasmin.
ACC Director (Public Relations) Pranab Kumar Bhattacharya confirmed the matter to Dhaka Tribune on Tuesday.
The Bangladesh Financial Intelligence Unit (BFIU) of Bangladesh Bank blocked the accounts, where nearly Tk7.37 crore was deposited.
It is alleged that Dulu amassed the wealth by tender manipulation and extortion.
As part of the investigation, the commission froze their accounts and is trying to find more information about their irregularities and corruption, said the ACC spokesperson.
In 2018, the commission launched an investigation against Ruhul Kuddus Dulu, on allegations that he had illegally amassed Tk500 crore from various government projects in Natore during the BNP government’s tenure, according to the commission.
