Dhaka Metropolitan Senior Special Judge Md Shahjahan
Kabir passed the order on Thursday following an application by the
Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC).
The application stated that Shamima Akter Shirin,
with the assistance of her husband, Md Salim Uddin Tarafdar, had allegedly
acquired and possessed assets worth Tk1.68 crore beyond their known sources of
income through collusion.
It further alleged that they had abused their power
while serving as public servants, with dishonest intentions, and used their
influence and financial resources to commit offences punishable under Section
27(1) of the Anti-Corruption Commission Act, 2004, and Section 109 of the Penal
Code.
According to the application, the accused were
attempting to transfer, relocate or dispose of their movable assets held in the
accounts. Transferring or relocating the assets before the disposal of the case
could hamper the investigation, it added.
