The Bangladesh Financial Intelligence Unit (BFIU) has asked banks to provide account information of Dhaka Wasa Managing Director Taqsem A Khan by August 29.
The BFIU, designated for combating money laundering and militancy financing, wrote to the banks on August 24. The BFIU would examine whether the MD had laundered money, said an official of the intelligence unit.
On August 17, the High Court sought information on his salary, bonus, and other benefits over 13 years when Taqsem was the managing director of the state-run water supplier in Dhaka.
The court had asked the chairman of the Dhaka Wasa to submit the information before the court within 60 days.
The HC came up with the directives after hearing a writ petition.
Taqsem was made Dhaka Wasa MD in 2009.
Despite severe criticism of his role in ensuring quality Wasa services, he was reappointed for a sixth term on October 1, 2020.
