DHAKA, Jan 11, 2026 (BSS) - A court here today ordered the freezing of 41 bank accounts of former Rajshahi City Corporation (RCC) AHM Khairuzzaman Liton, his wife Shahin Akter Rini, daughters Anika Fariha Zaman and Maisha Samiha Zaman. 
 
Dhaka Metropolitan Senior Special Judge Md Sabbir Faiz passed the order, allowing a petition filed by Criminal Investigation Department (CID) inspector Mohammad Kamruzzaman. 
 
The CID plea stated that allegations have been brought against former RCC Mayor AHM Khairuzzaman Liton, his interest-related persons and institutions over abnormal and suspicious transactions through bank accounts in Dhaka and elsewhere, involving organised crime and money laundering under the Money Laundering Prevention Act, 2012.
 
It said preliminary evidence suggests that the accused transferred proceeds of crime through bank accounts, acquired assets and used the money for luxurious consumption. As the investigation is ongoing, the said 41 bank accounts need to be frozen to prevent withdrawal, laundering or transfer of the crime-derived money.
