DHAKA, Nov 06, 2025 (BSS) - A court here today ordered the freezing of 81 bank accounts belonging to Awami League presidium member and former minister Mofazzal Hossain Chowdhury Maya, his wife Parvin Chowdhury, and their son Rashedul Islam.
 
Dhaka Metropolitan Senior Special Judge Md Sabbir Faiz passed the order, allowing a plea from the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC).
 
Of the accounts, 16 are in the name of Maya, 36 in the name of Parvin, and 29 in the name of Rashedul.
 
The ACC plea alleges that movable assets have been acquired in the names of the accused. It further states that there is a possibility they may transfer or change ownership of the said assets and flee abroad to evade legal action.
 
"To prevent the misappropriated funds from being transferred, concealed, or embezzled while the investigation is ongoing, freezing the relevant bank accounts is essential," the petition added.
