DHAKA, Feb 23, 2026 (BSS) - A court here today has ordered the freezing of 41 
accounts held in the name of former acting mayor of Gazipur City Corporation 
(GCC) Asadur Rahman Kiron and his related entities. 

Of the 41 accounts, 38 are bank accounts while two are bKash accounts and one 
is a Nagad account.
 
Dhaka Metropolitan Senior Special Judge Md Sabbir Faiz passed the order, 
allowing a petition filed by the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC).
 
The application stated that a significant amount of money has been deposited 
in the bank accounts of the accused persons concerned. The presence of such a 
large amount of money in those accounts appears unusual and suspicious. 
 
"It prima facie appears that the accused persons have deposited illegal 
assets in the said accounts, which were acquired through abuse of power, 
irregularities, and corruption. During the inquiry, it was also revealed that 
there is a strong possibility that the said money may be withdrawn and 
laundered or concealed abroad at any time," the petition said.
 
The application prayed for the court's order to freeze the 41 accounts 
mentioned in the schedule, allowing deposits into the accounts but 
prohibiting any withdrawals.
