Siddiqur, during his tenure as the chairman of the Rajdhani Unnayan Kartripakkha (Rajuk), amassed huge illegal wealth in his and his family members names through corruption including embezzling money by allocating plots in Purbachal New Town project, the ACC said in its plea.
"Accused Siddiqur, Gazi Rebeka Rowshan have made huge investments through their BO accounts, FDR and savings certificates and they are trying to withdraw the money from their accounts and launder those abroad. So all their movable properties should be frozen," it added.
