A Dhaka court, on Wednesday, ordered the seizure of a Tk200 crore plot in Gulshan owned by Nasrul Hamid, former state minister for power, energy and mineral resources.

The order was issued by Senior District and Sessions Judge Md Jakir Hossain of the Dhaka Metropolitan Sessions Judge Court, following a petition by the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC), according to media reports.

Following the ACC data, the 37.95-decimal land is registered under Hamid Real Estate Construction Limited, a company linked to the former minister.

This is the latest in a series of court actions against Nasrul Hamid. On 20 April, another court ordered the seizure of three apartments, one flat, three Land Cruiser vehicles, and the freezing of 70 of his bank accounts.

Earlier, on 27 January, the court ordered the seizure of a flat and the freezing of 17 bank accounts belonging to his son, Zarif Hamid, along with a travel ban. Similar bans were imposed on Nasrul and his wife on 16 January.

The ACC filed a case against Nasrul on 26 December 2024, accusing him of amassing Tk6.98 crore in illegal wealth under his wife’s name and conducting suspicious transactions through 98 bank accounts.

His wife Seema Hamid and son Zarif Hamid have also been named in separate cases for possessing unexplained wealth.
