Bangladesh has ordered banks to suspend transactions of accounts owned by former Information and Broadcasting minister Mohammad Ali Arafat, his wife Sharmin Mushtari, and businesses they own. The order was issued under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2012 by the Financial Intelligence Department of Bangladesh Bank, citing possible suspicious transactions. Banks have been given 3 working days to provide account-related information or documents in case of suspension. Arafat was a Member of Parliament from Dhaka and disappeared from public after Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina left the country on August 5.
