Confirming the matter, deputy director (public relations) Akterul Islam said Dhaka Metropolitan Senior Special Judge Md Zakir Hossain Galib passed the order, allowing a petition filed by investigation officer and ACC deputy director Monirul Islam.
The accounts have Taka 394.60 crore as deposit money currently, ACC sources said.
The ACC in its plea said the ousted prime minister and his family members are trying to hand over or transfer the said movable properties and that is why their accounts should be frozen.
