A Dhaka court has ordered the freezing of 31 bank accounts linked to former prime minister Sheikh Hasina, her son Sajeeb Wazed Joy, daughter Saima Wazed Putul, sister Sheikh Rehana, and their associates following the July uprising that led to her ousting.
According to the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC), these accounts hold a total of Tk394.6 crore, reports Prothom Alo.
Dhaka Metropolitan Senior Special Judge Md Zakir Hossain Galib passed the order after a hearing on separate petitions filed by the ACC.
Earlier, on March 11, the court had also ordered the freezing of 124 bank accounts linked to Sheikh Hasina and her family.
At a press conference at the ACC headquarters in Segunbagicha, Dhaka, ACC Director General Akhtar Hossain confirmed that the latest court order was based on the commission’s petition.
