The institutions have been directed to submit documents such as account opening forms, Know Your Customer (KYC) details, and transaction statements within two working days of the letter's issuance.
This request comes as part of an ongoing investigation. Tawfiq-e-Elahi Chowdhury was arrested last month and remains in custody.
