The central bank’s Bangladesh Financial Intelligence Unit (BFIU) on Tuesday sent letters to the banks.
Hossain, now expatriates’ welfare and overseas employment ministry’s secretary, allegedly took government plots in his and family’s name abusing power when he was secretary to housing and public works ministry.
The others whose bank information has been sought are Hossain’s wife Prof Ayesha Begum, daughter Shabin Ashfarah Khandaker, son Khandaker Hossain Ganjil Arash, mother Zakia Amjad, brothers Khandaker Arshad Hossain and Khandaker Ashraf Hossain and brother-in-law Hafiz Lutful Kabir.
The letter said information on account opening and KYC (Know Your Customer) forms and latest transaction statements of the present and previous accounts of the persons and their organisations had to be sent to the central bank in seven working days.
The letter mentioned 86 Indira Road and 9 Minto Road in Dhaka as present addresses and Kodin Dholla village under Mirzpur Police Station in Tangail as permanent address of all the persons barring Lutful Kabir.
The Anti Corruption Commission filed three cases against the secretary with Motijheel Police.
