Dhaka Metropolitan Senior Special Judge Md Zakir Hossain Galib passed the orders on Thursday, allowing separate pleas of the Anti-Corruption Commission.

The court also ordered to freeze 30 bank accounts and attach 2.41 acres of plots and a flat in the capital's Gulshan area of former Narsingdi-2 lawmaker Anwarul Ashraf Khan.
