Jubo League chairman Omar Faruk Chowdhury has been relieved of his duties.

Awami League general secretary Obaidul Quader confirmed the development while talking to the media outside Ganabhaban on Sunday evening, reports UNB.

On 3 October, Bangladesh Financial Intelligence Unit asked all banks and financial institutions to send information related to the bank accounts of Faruk within three working days.

Before that, Bangladesh Bank froze the accounts of Faruk and some other top Jubo League leaders after a crackdown on casinos was launched.
