Dhaka, 10 November 2025 (BSS): A court in Dhaka has ordered the freezing of 12 bank accounts held in the name of former Member of Parliament (MP) Sadek Khan, representing Dhaka-13.

The order was issued today (Monday) in response to an application filed by the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC), with Dhaka’s Senior Special Judge Md. Sabbir Faiz presiding over the decision.

Mohammad Riaz Hossain, a bench assistant at the Dhaka Metropolitan Sessions Judge’s Court, confirmed the matter to BSS.

The application alleges that Sadek Khan has accumulated assets inconsistent with his known sources of income, totalling 73 million 320 thousand 664 Taka, through the abuse of power, land grabbing, and other irregularities and corrupt practices. These actions are said to have led to the unlawful misappropriation of public funds.

Furthermore, while serving as an MP, Khan allegedly engaged in power abuse and criminal misconduct, conducting suspicious and abnormal transactions amounting to 46.647 billion Taka in 29 bank accounts, held in his name and under the names of his owned entities. The ACC has filed a case against him, which is currently under investigation.

The application further raised concerns that Khan might transfer or conceal his movable assets, possibly fleeing abroad to avoid investigation. As such, the ACC sought the court’s intervention to freeze these assets in order to facilitate the ongoing probe.
