DHAKA, April 20, 2026 (BSS) – A Dhaka court today ordered the blocking of six credit cards belonging to former Dhaka South City Corporation (DSCC) mayor Sheikh Fazle Noor Taposh and his wife Afrin Taposh.
  
Of the six cards, three were issued in the name of Taposh, while the remaining three were in the name of his wife.
  
Dhaka Metropolitan Senior Special Judge Md Sabbir Faiz passed the order, allowing a plea of the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC).
  
According to the petition, Taposh allegedly abused his power during his tenure to acquire assets worth about Taka 73.19 crore beyond known sources of income and made suspicious transactions of around Taka 539.16 crore and USD 517,527 through 27 bank accounts.
  
In its plea against Afrin Taposh, the ACC said she is accused of acquiring assets worth about Taka 6.40 crore beyond known income in collusion with Taposh and conducting suspicious transactions of around Taka 70.89 crore and USD 395,963 through nine bank accounts.
  
An investigating officer has been appointed in the case. The petitions said the cards need to be blocked to prevent the withdrawal of money.
