A Dhaka court on Monday ordered the seizure of 36 bighas of land in Gazipur registered under the name of Salman F Rahman, former Private Industry and Investment Adviser to former prime minister Sheikh Hasina.

Dhaka Metropolitan Sessions Judge Md Sabbir Faiz issued the order following a petition filed by the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC).

At the same time, the court also ordered the freezing of a bank account in his name containing Tk54.66 crore.

According to the application, the accused are attempting to transfer funds from their bank accounts and to transfer or change ownership of immovable properties.

Therefore, the seizure of the immovable assets and the freezing of the movable assets, including the bank account, are urgently required.
