A Dhaka court has ordered to attach different immovable properties of Sheikh Rehana, Saima Wazed Putul, Sajeeb Wazed Joy, Radwan Mujib Siddique and Azmina Siddique situated in Dhaka, Khulna and Gopalganj, over graft allegations.

Dhaka Metropolitan Senior Special Judge Md Zakir Hossain Galib passed the order on Wednesday, allowing a plea of the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC). 

The court has also ordered to appoint receiver to look after the properties.

Of the properties, there is a house of Putul, estimated to be of Taka 4.98 crore in the capital's Baridhara, while Sheikh Rehana, Saima Wazed Putul and Sajeeb Wazed Joy have 87.70 decimals of land worth Tk 61.87 lakh in Khulna. Sheikh Rehana has another 19 decimals of land in Gopalganj, whereas her children Radwan Mujib Siddique and Azmina Siddique have 87 decimals of land in Khulna.

The ACC in it plea said the accused are trying to hand over or sell the properties and if they manage to do so, it may hamper the investigation.

“So, the properties should be attached so that they cannot hand over or sell those and receiver should be appointed to look after those,” it added.
