The Anti Corruption Commission (ACC) has entered two apartments owned by former Land Minister Saifuzzaman Chowdhury Javed in Gulshan, Dhaka, and has begun preparing an inventory of the belongings inside.
ACC officials entered the two apartments at around 10:30 am Sunday in the presence of an executive magistrate. Police personnel were also present during the operation.
ACC Deputy Director Md. Mashiur Rahman confirmed the matter. He said, “The operation to enter the former land minister’s apartments and prepare an inventory began under a court order.”
The two apartments are located at Plot No. 11, Northwest (B) Block, Road No. 66 in Gulshan. Apartment A 7 has an area of 3,747 square feet, while Apartment B 7 covers 3,832 square feet. The combined area of the two apartments is 7,579 square feet.
ACC Public Relations Officer and Deputy Director Akhtarul Islam told the media, “The operation is being carried out under the leadership of ACC Deputy Director Mashiur Rahman with the court’s permission. An inventory of the belongings in the two apartments is being prepared.”
The ACC launched an inquiry into Saifuzzaman following the political changeover after the 2024 mass uprising. The commission has filed multiple cases against him over allegations of irregularities and corruption.
According to court documents, an attachment order was issued on Nov. 18, 2025. A receiver was later appointed on Jan. 12 this year, and permission was granted on April 29 to unlock the apartments and allow the receiver to enter and prepare an inventory of the belongings.
By order of the Dhaka Metropolitan Senior Special Judge’s Court, the director of the ACC’s Asset Management Unit was appointed receiver of the two apartments. The receiver’s responsibilities include controlling, managing, supervising and maintaining the properties.
However, the receiver had been unable to enter the apartments because they were locked. Following an ACC petition, the court on April 29 allowed entry into the apartments without obstruction, even in the absence of the persons concerned, and authorized the preparation of an inventory of the belongings inside.
