The Bangladesh Financial Intelligence Unit (BFIU) has directed banks to freeze the bank accounts of Sheikh Salahuddin Jewel, a former member of parliament of the Khulna-2 constituency, and other family members. 

Bank accounts of their related private entities will also come under the directive, according to a letter by the BFIU.  

The accounts will be frozen for 30 days, with the possibility of an extension if needed.
