The Bangladesh Financial Intelligence Unit (BFIU) on Tuesday directed all banks to freeze the accounts of ousted home minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal, his wife Lutful Tahmina Khan as well as their son and daughter.

The anti-money laundering unit of the Bangladesh Bank also instructed relevant authorities to suspend all the company accounts registered in their names.

A senior official of BFIU confirmed this matter to journalists on Tuesday.

The BFIU also said that banks and financial institutions have been requested to send the account-related information or documents, such as account opening form, KYC and transaction statement, within three working days from the date of issuing the letter.
