81 bank accounts of ex-minister Maya, family frozen

A Dhaka court on Thursday ordered the freezing of 81 bank accounts belonging to former minister Mofazzal Hossain Chowdhury Maya and his family in connection with a graft case.

Dhaka Metropolitan Senior Special Judge Md Sabbir Foyez issued the order following a petition by Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) Deputy Director Mozammil Hossain.

Of the accounts, 16 belong to Maya, 36 to his wife Parveen Chowdhury, and 29 to his son Rashedul Islam Chowdhury.
The ACC stated that movable assets have been identified in the names of Maya, his wife, and their son. The court noted that the accused could potentially transfer, relocate, change ownership, dispose of these assets, or move them abroad to evade legal action.
