The National Board of Revenue (NBR) has frozen the bank accounts of Faisal Karim Masud, a man suspected of launching a gun attack on Inqilab Mancha leader Sharif Osman Hadi.
Besides, the bank accounts of Masud's IT firm, Apple Soft IT Limited, have also been frozen.
An NBR source confirmed that letters instructing all banks to freeze the accounts of Masud and his organisation were issued this morning (14 December).
Masud is also a member of the Bangladesh Association of Software and Information Services (BASIS).
Hadi is the spokesperson of Inqilab Mancha and a likely independent candidate for the Dhaka-8 constituency.
