The Bangladesh Financial Intelligence Unit on Thursday sought the information about the bank accounts of former speaker of the Bangladesh Jatiya Sangsad Shirin Sharmin Chaudhury and her family members.
The BFIU sent the instruction to all banks and financial institutions, asking them to provide transaction details of the accounts held in the names of Shirin Sharmin, her husband Syed Ishtiaque Hossain, their son Syed Ibtesham Rafiq and daughter Lamisa Shirin Hossain.
The BFIU also instructed banks and financial institutions to send their account-related documents 鈥攁ccount opening forms, KYC, and transaction details 鈥� within three working days of the notice.
The series of account-freezing of the businesses, ministers and leaders of the former Awami League government came after the fall of Sheikh Hasina as prime minister.
Awami League president Sheikh Hasina resigned and fled to India on August 5 amid a mass uprising spearheaded by students.
