A Dhaka court today (Jan 5) ordered police to confiscate moveable and immovable properties of BNP acting Chairman Tarique Rahman and his wife Dr Zubaida Rahman in a graft case.

Judge Md Asaduzzaman of the Dhaka Metropolitan Senior Special Judge's Court passed the order on Thursday. 

Earlier on November 1, 2022, a Dhaka court issued arrest warrants against Tarique Rahman and Zubaida Rahman in this graft case filed by the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC). 

The same Court was also accepted the charges against them after scrutinising the case dockets and other relevant documents.

The officer-in-charge of Cantonment Police Station was directed to submit the progress report on execution of the arrest warrants against them by January 5.

The High Court declared Tarique and Zubaida as fugitives and rejected their writ petitions challenging the filing and initiation of a Tk 4.82 crore graft case on June 25 last year.
