A Dhaka court on Thursday ordered to freeze seven bank accounts with Taka 94 lakh of former Bogura-5 lawmaker Md Habibur Rahman over graft allegations.

Dhaka Metropolitan Senior Special Judge Md Zakir Hossain Galib passed the order, allowing a petition of the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC).

The anti-graft body in its plea said the commission is probing allegations of amassing illegal wealth and he may try to hand over or transfer those.

“For the sake of proper investigation, his accounts should be frozen,” the plea added.
