A Dhaka court has ordered the freezing of 21 bank accounts belonging to former Dhaka South City Corporation mayor Sheikh Fazle Noor Taposh, his two children, and related parties. The order came on Monday, November 24, following a petition by the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC). According to court officials, the accounts collectively hold about Tk 10.38 crore. The ACC’s assistant director and investigating officer, Md Ferdous Rahman, sought the freeze to prevent the transfer or misuse of assets suspected to be linked to corruption. The ACC earlier filed a case against Taposh on January 5, alleging that he illegally amassed Tk 73.19 crore through abuse of power. Investigations revealed that between 2013 and 2024, Taposh conducted transactions totaling over Tk 539 crore across 27 bank accounts, including foreign currency dealings amounting to over USD 500,000. The court’s latest order aims to secure the assets while the corruption probe continues.
