The Bangladesh Financial Intelligence Unit (BFIU) has sought the bank accounts of Taqsem A Khan, managing director (MD) of Dhaka WASA, and his family members, sources familiar with the matter said on Thursday.
Amid growing public concern over alleged poor service of Dhaka WASA, the central bank’s financial intelligence agency sent a notification to all banks asking for the account details of Taqsem Khan and his family members, said the sources wishing anonymity.
In 2009, Taqsem was appointed as the MD of Dhaka WASA. He was reappointed for a sixth term on October 1, 2020.

Last week, the High Court asked the relevant authorities to submit a report on the salaries, allowances and other perks given to the WASA chief in the 13 years since his appointment. This order came in response to a writ petition, and the report has to be placed before the court within 60 days.
