A Dhaka court has ordered the freezing of movable assets belonging to former chairman of the Rajdhani Unnayan Kartripakkha (RAJUK), Major General (Retd) Md Siddiqur Rahman Sarkar, and his wife Gazi Rebeka Rowshan.
The assets include 13 bank accounts under the “beneficiary owner” (BO) category, along with fixed deposits and savings certificates.
Dhaka Metropolitan Senior Special Judge Md Zakir Hossain Galib issued the order on Monday following an application by the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC). ACC Public Relations Officer Akhtarul Islam confirmed the development.
In the petition, ACC Director Abul Hasnat stated that Siddiqur Rahman is under investigation for allegedly amassing illegal wealth through abuse of power, irregularities, and corruption —particularly in projects like the Purbachal New Town initiative.
The probe revealed that Siddiqur and his wife jointly own substantial shares across 13 BO accounts, alongside other bank accounts, FDRs, and savings certificates containing significant movable assets.
The ACC cited intelligence reports suggesting attempts to launder these assets abroad, justifying the need for the freeze order, which the court approved.
