Dhaka Metropolitan Senior Special Judge Md Zakir Hossain Galib passed the order, allowing a plea of the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC).
According to the ACC plea, a case has already been filed against Nasrin for amassing illegal wealth of Tk20.26 crore and keeping those under her possession. The accused is trying to sell, transfer or hand over the ill-gotten properties to evade justice.
