Court asks freezing bank account of ex-Rab DG, wife
ACC
Dhaka, Feb 24 – A Dhaka court on Monday asked the authorities concerned to freeze the bank accounts of former director general (DG) of Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) Barrister Md Harun Ar Rashid, his wife Fatema Pervin Luna on graft charges.
Judge of the Dhaka Senior Special Judge Court, Md Sabbir Faiz passed the order after hearing a petition filed by the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC).
According to the petition, allegations were brought against the former Rab DG and his wife for amassing illegal wealth worth Tk 1,000 crore and for money laundering.
As information has been found regarding the acquisition of substantial movable assets inconsistent with known sources of income and amid concerns that the assets may be transferred elsewhere, an application has been filed to freeze over Tk 64 lakh kept in various fixed deposits at One Bank and savings certificates with the National Savings Directorate. - UNB
