The Bangladesh Financial Intelligence Unit has frozen the bank accounts of Shuchona Foundation, a non-profit organisation founded by Saima Wazed Putul, daughter of deposed prime minister Sheikh Hasina.
The BFIU in a letter on Sunday stated that transactions of any bank accounts operated in the name of the firm would remain suspended under the Anti-Money Laundering Act for 30 days.
The accounts of the foundation, established in 2014, were frozen for suspicious transactions, BFIU officials said.
Putul, Muzharul Mannan and Zain Bari Rizvi are three of the trustees of the foundation.
The organisation works to help people with mental disabilities, neurological disabilities, autism, and mental health issues.
