Dhaka: A court here today ordered the freezing of 34 bank accounts belonging to former Director General (DG) of the Special Security Force (SSF) Lieutenant General (sacked) Md Mujibur Rahman and his wife Tasrin Mujib due to graft allegations.
According to Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha, the court also decreed the attachment of two flats, a plot with a building on it, and 42.30 katha plots owned by the couple. The order was issued by Dhaka Metropolitan Senior Special Judge Md Zakir Hossain Galib, following a plea from the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC).
Among the bank accounts affected, 24 are registered under Mujibur’s name, while 10 are under his wife’s. The immovable properties include a 4,050 square foot flat in Matikata Mirpur, another flat in the Dhaka Cantonment area, a building in Narayanganj, and plots under 11 deeds located in Khilkhet, Mirpur, Savar, and Cantonment areas of the capital.
The ACC, in its plea, highlighted that an investigation is ongoing regarding allegations of illegally amassed wealth by the former SSF DG and his wife. The accused allegedly attempted to sell, transfer, or hand over the ill-gotten money and properties, potentially obstructing the investigation. Consequently, the ACC argued for the freezing of their bank accounts and the attachment of their assets to ensure a thorough investigation.
