A Dhaka court today ordered the Anti-Corruption Commission to freeze 44 bank accounts of former industries minister and Awami League advisory council member Amir Hossain Amu, his wife Syeda Haque and their daughter Sumaiya Hossain in connection with corruption allegations against them.

Judge Md Zakir Hossain of Dhaka Metropolitan Senior Special Judge’s Court passed the order after ACC Assistant Public Prosecutor Abul Kalam Azad, who is leading the inquiry team, submitted an application in this regard.

ACC Public Prosecutor Ruhul Islam Khan moved the application on behalf of the anti-graft body.
