A Dhaka court has ordered the freezing of 57 bank accounts belonging to former Jute and Textiles Minister and suspended Awami League Presidium Member Jahangir Kabir Nanak, his wife Syeda Arzuman Banuas well as daughter S. Amreen Rakhi.
The order was issued on Monday by acting judge Shihabul Islam of the Dhaka Metropolitan Senior Special Judge’s Court in response to a petition filed by the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC).
The accounts reportedly hold a total of Tk 2.89 crore.
According to the ACC petition, Nanak, his family members, and his wife’s advertising firm, M/S Dawn Advertising, were involved in suspicious transactions amounting to Tk 32.18 crore. Investigators say records indicate attempts to siphon funds from multiple current, savings and fixed-deposit accounts held under their names.
