DHAKA, Oct 1, 2025 (BSS) - The Financial Crime Unit of the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) has attached the properties of Shyam Ghosh on charges of acquiring illegal wealth through gold smuggling, following a court order.

Earlier on September 25, a Senior Metropolitan Special Judge of Dhaka Court issued an attachment order on properties worth about Taka 10 crore belonging to Shyam Ghosh in connection with a money laundering case.

The court has appointed the Commissioner of Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) as the receiver for the protection of the attached properties.

Earlier on September 1, a money laundering case was lodged against Shyam Ghosh under the Money Laundering Prevention Act 2012 with Kotwali Police Station, accusing him of acquiring huge wealth through gold smuggling.

During the investigation, the CID revealed that at the beginning of his career, Shyam Ghosh worked at his father's hotel in Sutrapur, Dhaka.

Later, he bought and sold the illegally obtained gold without valid documents and concealed the sources of the income, violating the Money Laundering Prevention Act. 

The investigation also found that Shyam Ghosh had purchased flats and shops in various parts of the capital city with the money earned through gold smuggling.

He has three shops (Shop No. 5C-054, 5C-055, 5C-056) on the 6th floor of Jamuna Future Park's C Block and a restaurant called 'Indian Domestic Spy'. 

In addition, there is a flat (Flat No. 4/C) on the 5th floor of 'Babuli Star City' building in Wiseghat under Kotwali Police Station and a flat (Flat No. A-6) jointly owned by him and his brother on the 6th floor of 'Swarnachapa' building in Swamibag.
