Of the 38 bank accounts, 30 accounts belong to Nilima Das, eight accounts belong to Mrinal, ACC sources said.
The anti-graft body in its pleas said Mrinal Kanti Das allegedly amassed huge illegal wealth during his tenure as MP, by misusing power and through corruption.
"He and his wife may try to sell, hand over or transfer the ill-gotten properties to evade justice and these should be attached and frozen immediately," the ACC pleas added.
