A Dhaka court today ordered the freezing of an additional 31 bank accounts associated with ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, her son Sajeeb Wazed Joy, daughter Saima Wazed Putul, and sister Sheikh Rehana, amid ongoing graft investigations.

Dhaka Metropolitan Senior Special Judge Md Zakir Hossain Galib passed the order, allowing a petition filed by investigation officer and ACC deputy director Monirul Islam. 

The accounts, holding a total of Tk 394.60 crore, were frozen to prevent any potential transfer or disposal of assets, as per the ACC’s request.

This follows a similar order issued on March 11, which froze 124 accounts related to the family and individuals with vested interests.
