DHAKA, Aug 6, 2025 (BSS) – A court here today ordered for freezing 35 bank accounts and 23 beneficiary owner (BO) accounts of former Gopalganj-2 lawmaker Sheikh Selim and his family members.
Dhaka Metropolitan Senior Special Judge Md Zakir Hossain Galib passed the order after allowing a plea submitted by the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC).
In its plea, the anti-graft body said it has already formed a team to investigate allegations of amassing huge illegal wealth at home and abroad against the former lawmaker and his family.
During the investigation, the team found the allegations to be true, and that the accused were attempting to hand over or transfer the movable properties to evade justice.
Therefore, to ensure a proper investigation, the accounts should be frozen immediately to prevent the transfer of the assets,” the plea stated.
