The Bangladesh Financial Intelligence Unit on Wednesday froze the bank accounts of Anisul Huq and his family members.
The unit also ordered freezing of accounts belonging to former lawmakers Mirza Azam and Jannat Ara Henry.
The unit鈥檚 directive, issued under the Money Laundering Prevention Act 2019, prohibits all withdrawals from these accounts.
