A Dhaka court has ordered the freezing of bank accounts and savings certificates belonging to former Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) Director General Harunur Rashid and his wife, Fateha Farvin Luna. The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) is investigating allegations that the couple amassed illegal wealth worth about Tk 1,000 crore and laundered money. The order was issued on Tuesday by Judge Sabbir Fayez of the Dhaka Metropolitan Senior Special Judge’s Court, confirmed by court bench assistant Riaz Hossain.

According to the ACC’s petition, the investigation uncovered evidence of substantial movable assets inconsistent with the couple’s known income sources. The ACC requested the freeze to prevent possible transfer of funds, including over Tk 6.4 million in fixed deposits at One Bank and savings certificates under the National Savings Directorate.

The court’s decision marks a significant step in the ongoing corruption inquiry, as investigators continue to trace the origins and movement of the alleged illicit assets.
