A team from the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has arrived at Bangladesh Bank's Motijheel branch to inspect and open secure lockers, commonly known as safe deposit boxes, as part of an ongoing anti-corruption drive.  

The eight-member team, led by ACC Director Sayemuzzaman, reached the central bank around 12:30 pm today to conduct the search.  

According to sources, nearly 300 former and current high-ranking officials of the central bank have stored wealth and valuable documents in these lockers, with some suspected of holding assets acquired through illicit means.  

Authorities believe undisclosed wealth or related documents could be hidden inside. 

The lockers will be opened in the presence of an executive magistrate from the Dhaka District Administration and a detailed inventory of the contents will be prepared.  

If any assets inconsistent with the officials' known sources of income are found, further investigations will follow, sources said.  

The ACC's move is part of broader efforts to curb financial irregularities and corruption within state institutions.
