The Bangladesh Financial Intelligence Unit (BFIU) has instructed all banks to freeze the accounts of Harun-or-Rashid, additional deputy commissioner of the Dhaka Metropolitan Police, and his wife Shireen Akter.

The order was issued based on reports of suspicious transactions in their names, said a BFIU official on Sunday requesting anonymity. A senior official of BFIU confirmed this matter to journalists on Sunday.

In a letter, the BFIU instructed banks to block all types of withdrawals through all accounts maintained by the former DB chief and his wife.

Besides, the banks have been asked to send all documents of the frozen accounts to the intelligence unit within three working days.
