Unable to set account lookup field with Xrm.Webapi version 9 Dynamics 365

I am setting two lookup fields (Contact and Account entity) while creating a custom entity record.

Once the recorded is created I can see Contact lookup is set on the form but not Account.

The Account lookup I am trying to link on custom entity record is related to Contact.

I am using schema names for this purpose and have also tried to create the custom entity record first and then update this with Account record later but it wouldn't have it.

Here is the code:

try

{
  //create CR object
  var Obj= new Object();
  Obj.name = "ABC";
  Obj.changedescription = "Test Description";
  Obj["abc_Account@odata.bind"] = "/accounts("+ accountId +")";  //Doesn't work and no error

  Obj["abc_Contact@odata.bind"] = "/contacts("+ contactId +")";  //Works

  Xrm.WebApi.createRecord("abc_entity", Obj).then(function (result) {
            
            //get the guid of created record
            var recordId = result.id;
                       
            //below code is used to open the created record
            var windowOptions = {
                openInNewWindow: false
            };
            //check if XRM.Utility is not null
            if (Xrm.Utility != null) {

                //open the entity record
                Xrm.Utility.openEntityForm("abc_entity", recordId, null, windowOptions);
            }
        },
      function (error) {
          Xrm.Utility.alertDialog(error.message);
      });

    } catch (e) {
        Xrm.Utility.alertDialog(e.message);
}

Any suggestions would be welcome.

Thanks
