All bank accounts of Bangladesh cricket all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan and his wife Umme Ahmed Shishir have been frozen.

A senior official of the Bangladesh Financial Intelligence Unit (BFIU) of Bangladesh Bank confirmed this to media.

Earlier, on October 2, the BFIU had requested all bank account details of Shakib Al Hasan, his wife Umme Ahmed Shishir and his business entities as part of an investigation into alleged stock market manipulation and financial irregularities.

Shakib, who previously served as a member of parliament for Magura-1 constituency, was recently fined Tk 50 lakh for his involvement in market manipulation related to shares of Paramount Insurance, a listed company in the insurance sector.

Shakib is currently in the United States with his family.

He was accused in a murder case filed with Adabar Police Station after the fall of Hasina’s government on August 5.
