Britain's National Crime Agency has obtained freezing orders on two London properties owned by Ahmed Shayan Fazlur Rahman, son of Salman F Rahman, who is currently in jail in Dhaka, the Financial Times has reported.

The properties are a luxury apartment at 17 Grosvenor Square in London, which was purchased in 2010 for £6.5mn and another at Gresham Gardens in north London, which was acquired for £1.2mn the following year, the filings show.

Sheikh Rehana, the sister of Sheikh Hasina and mother of former UK City minister Tulip Siddiq, has lived at the Gresham Gardens property, according to UK electoral roll records, though it is not clear whether she still resides there, the report said.

"We can confirm that the NCA has secured freezing orders against property in 17 Grosvenor Square, London, and Gresham Gardens, London, as part of an ongoing civil investigation. We cannot comment further at this time," the NCA told the Financial Times.

Salman and Ahmed Rahman are suspects in embezzlement investigations by the Bangladesh Anti-Corruption Commission, its chair Mohammad Abdul Momen told the Financial Times.

The properties are owned through offshore companies in the Isle of Man, the filings show.

A spokesperson for Ahmed Rahman said: "Our client denies any involvement in any alleged wrongdoing in the strongest possible terms. He will of course engage with any investigation which takes place in the UK."

They added: "It is well known that there is political upheaval in Bangladesh, where numerous allegations are being made against many hundreds of individuals. We would expect the UK authorities to take this into consideration."

Salman F Rahman was arrested from the capital's Sadarghat area as he was trying to flee the capital along with former law minister Anisul Huq through the waterways on 13 August.
