Bangladesh Financial Intelligence Unit (BFIU), the financial intelligence agency of the central bank, has summoned bank account details of 28 journalists.
The BFIU has sent letters to various banks of the country seeking information about them, sources familiar with the development said Tuesday.
After receiving the letter from the Ministry of Information, BFIU wrote to the banks and asked for all the bank account information of the journalists.
The information being sought is whether there are any bank lockers, savings cards, credit cards and other financial instruments in their name or whether money has been transacted or not.
