DHAKA, Jan 23, 2025 (BSS) - A court here today ordered the seizure of income tax file of former food minister Sadhan Chandra Majumder.

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

The anti-graft body also filed a separate petition, pleading to show the former minister arrested in the case. The court set January 29 for holding hearing on the matter in presence of the accused.
