Court orders to freeze bank accounts of Zahid Maleque, son  

A Dhaka court has ordered to freeze a total 28 bank accounts of former Health Minister Zahid Maleque and his son Rahar Maleque over graft charges.  

Of the 28 bank accounts, 16 are of Zahid and 12 belong to Rahar.  

Dhaka Metropolitan Senior Special Judge Zakir Hossain Galib passed the order on Thursday.

Deputy Director of Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) Fazlul Haque filed two separate petitions.

In the petitions Fazlul Haque said the father-son duo are accused of making suspicious transactions through their accounts and are allegedly trying to relocate the money they earned illegally. 

For the sake of proper investigation, their account should be frozen, he said.
