DHAKA, Sept 15, 2025 (BSS) – A Dhaka court today ordered the seizure of four flats and 10 katha of land owned by former minister Asaduzzaman Noor and freeze his 16 bank accounts.

Dhaka Metropolitan Senior Special Judge Md Sabbir Faiz passed the order today following an application from the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC).

ACC Public Relations Officer Aktarul Islam said, the ACC filed a case against Noor on July 30 on charges of amassing illegal wealth worth Taka 5.37 crore and laundering over Taka 158.78 crore. 

ACC Assistant Director Md Ferdous Rahman filed the application seeking the freezing of both movable and immovable assets of Noor. 

The application stated that not all assets acquired by Asaduzzaman Noor could be precisely identified, and to prevent any transfer or disposal of assets during the investigation, it was essential to seize his movable and immovable properties.

According to the case statement, Noor abused his power to acquire wealth worth Taka 5.37 crore beyond known income sources.

The case also mentioned suspicious transactions amounting to Taka 158.78 crore through 16 bank and financial institution accounts in his name.
The transactions involved alleged transfer, conversion, and movement of funds, constituting offenses under the Money Laundering Prevention Act and the ACC Act. 

The case further stated that deposits of Taka 85.72 crore and withdrawals of Taka 73.05 crore were made from Noor’s various accounts, the sources of which remain unexplained.

Noor was arrested on the night of September 15, 2024 from his residence on Bailey Road in Dhaka and has been in jail since that time.
