DHAKA, Oct 22, 2024 (BSS) - The Bangladesh Financial Intelligence Unit (BFIU) has asked banks to freeze accounts of 14 members of the Sikder family, including Monowara Sikder and her children.
 
The anti-money laundering agency directed banks on Monday to block transactions in the accounts of the persons, including Parveen Haque Sikder, Rick Haque Sikder and Ron Haque Sikder, for 30 days.
 
The Sikder family took control of the National Bank in 2009 and lost its grip in May this year amid allegations of financial irregularities, including approving loans by breaching rules and regulations.
