The police have attached the property of Mohammad Hanif, the owner of Hanif Enterprise, indicted in the August 21 grenade attack case.
The attachment took place at Hanif's Dhanmondi residence near Sultana Kamal Women's Complex around 7:00pm on Tuesday, officer in charge Moniruzzaman told the news agency.
Hanif, general secretary of the Bus-Truck Owners' Association, is also facing
arrest warrant in the case.
This is first-ever the police drive against any accused since the order, issued on Sunday.
'All the belongings of Hanif's present in the house were attached as per the court order. He [Hanif] was not present at the time,' Moniruzzaman said.
Hanif is the younger brother of Kafil Uddin, general secretary of Savar BNP and newly-elected chairman of Amin Bazar Union Parishad.
A supplementary charge-sheet in the case on Sunday named 30 more, including BNP chief Khaleda Zia's eldest son Tarique Rahman, and arrest warrants were issued against 18 fugitives the same day.
Twenty-two people were earlier accused in the first charge-sheet submitted on June 22, 2008.
The grisly grenade attack on an Awami League meeting on Bangabandhu Avenue in Dhaka on August 21, 2004 had left 24 people, including incumbent president Zillur Rahman's wife Ivy Rahman, dead and 73 injured.
