NBR seizes 2 more bank lockers of Hasina

The Central Intelligence Cell (CIC) of the National Board of Revenue (NBR) on Wednesday seized two more bank lockers belonging to Sheikh Hasina at Agrani Bank.

The lockers, numbered 751 and 753, are at the principal branch of Agrani Bank PLC, CIC sources say.

Last week, the CIC had seized another locker of the former prime minister at a Pubali Bank branch in the capital's Motijheel.

A senior NBR official confirmed that three lockers are currently under CIC scrutiny and will be unlocked in the presence of a magistrate and a central bank official. The CIC's action aims to verify Hasina's movable and immovable assets against her tax records.

As part of the ongoing investigation, the tax authority has also frozen her bank accounts, officials added.
