DHAKA, Feb 9, 2025 (BSS) - A court here today ordered to freeze 56 bank 
accounts of former food minister Sadhan Chandra Majumder over graft 
allegations.

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

The anti-graft body in its plea said the former minister is trying to hand 
over or transfer his ill-gotten money from these 56 bank accounts. If he 
successfully managed to do this, it may hamper the trial against him and 
these accounts should be frozen immediately, it added.

The same court on January 23 ordered to seize the income tax files of Sadhan 
Chandra Majumder.

Detective branch (DB) of the Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) arrested Sadhan 
Chandra Majumder from the capital's Bhatara area on October 3, 2024. He has 
been shown arrested in different cases and was placed on different terms of 
remand already.
