A Dhaka court has ordered the freezing of 28 bank accounts and two BO accounts in the names of former Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) joint police commissioner Biplob Kumar Sarkar and his wife Hosne Ara Begum over corruption allegations. Dhaka Metropolitan Senior Special Judge Court Acting Judge Md Alamgir passed the order on Thursday following an application filed by the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC), court sources said. ACC Assistant Director Russell Rony submitted the application seeking the freezing of the accounts on behalf of the commission. Investigators also informed the court that attempts were being made to transfer funds from the bank and BO accounts. Earlier, on December 9, the same court barred Biplob Kumar Sarkar, his wife Hosne Ara Begum, his brother Pranoy Kumar Sarkar and Hosne Ara’s sister Shahanara Begum from leaving the country.
