A Dhaka court has ordered the seizure of former cultural affairs minister and actor Asaduzzaman Noor’s income tax records in connection with a corruption case filed by the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC). The order was issued on Wednesday, April 8, 2026, by Dhaka Metropolitan Senior Special Judge Md Sabbir Faiz. Court bench assistant Md Riaz Hossain confirmed the directive.

According to the ACC’s petition, Noor is accused of abusing his power for personal gain and unlawfully possessing assets worth 53.71 million taka beyond known income sources. The petition also alleges suspicious transactions totaling 1.58 billion taka across 19 bank and financial institution accounts. The ACC filed the case under the Anti-Corruption Commission Act and the Money Laundering Prevention Act, appointing an investigating officer to lead the inquiry.

The court stated that seizing Noor’s complete tax records, including permanent and miscellaneous sections, is necessary for a fair investigation. The documents will be reviewed as part of the ongoing probe.
