DHAKA, Aug 11, 2025 (BSS) – A court here today ordered to block national identity (NID) cards of former Deputy Inspector General (DIG) of Bangladesh Police Md Abdul Baten and his wife Nurzahan Akter Hira.

Dhaka Metropolitan Senior Special Judge Md Zakir Hossain Galib passed the order, allowing two separate petitions of the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC).

According to the case documents, the ACC has appointed investigation officer to probe different allegations against Baten and Hira, including money embezzlement, taking bribes and amassing illegal wealth.

“For the sake of proper investigation, their NID cards should be blocked,” the ACC plea said.

The same court on July 23 had imposed a travel ban on the couple over graft allegations.
