The court has ordered the seizure of 33 immovable properties located in across Dhaka, Chuadanga, Cumilla, and Narayanganj registered under the name of Diamond World Director Dilip Kumar Agarwala.
The order was issued by the court of Dhaka Metropolitan Senior Special Judge Sabbir Faiz on Monday.
Assistant Director Sajjad Hossain made the application on behalf of Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC),
In the ACC’s application, it is stated that Dilip Kumar Agarwala (57) has acquired and possesses, through dishonest means, movable and immovable assets worth Tk112.47 crore, which are inconsistent with his known sources of income.
At the same time, he has engaged in money laundering by conducting abnormal transactions totaling Tk755.30 crore through 34 bank accounts in his own name and in the names of entities associated with his interests.
In connection with these offenses, a case was filed against him for the crimes of transferring, moving, and converting these assets to conceal or hide the illegal source of money or property obtained through corruption and bribery.
In the application, the investigating officer said that upon reviewing various records, it was found that the Diamond World, director is trying to transfer, move, or misappropriate his immovable properties elsewhere.
It is for this reason, to prevent him from being able to transfer or move his property before the case is resolved, that this application was made on behalf of the ACC.
