Staff Reporter:
The Central Intelligence Cell (CIC) of the National Board of Revenue (NBR) yesterday took control of a locker belonging to the ousted prime minister Sheikh Hasina at a branch of Pubali Bank in the capital’s Motijheel area.
The CIC conducted a raid in the morning getting intelligence information about the existence of the locker, said a senior official of the Bank.
He said the locker would be unlocked following due procedures as per Bangladesh Bank (BB) guide-lines.
The move comes as the NBR launched an inquiry into the allegations of tax evasion by deposed PM Hasina, who fled to India following a mass uprising.
The tax authority has frozen the bank accounts of Hasina as part of the investigation, the officials added.
