A Dhaka court has imposed a travel ban of former home mister Dr Mohiuddin Khan Alamgir and former state minister for labour and employment Monnujan Sufian, her brother Shahabuddin Ahmed and nephew Shamima Sultana, reports BSS.
On allegation of corruption, Dhaka Metropolitan Sessions Judge Mohammad Ash Shams Zaglul Hossain passed the orders on Monday, allowing separate pleas of the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC).
The anti-graft body in its plea against Alamgir said the former home minister embezzled Taka 8.86 crore from Jamalpur’s Bakshiganj branch of now defunct Farmer’s Bank Limited through money laundering. He is now trying to escape the country to evade justice and a ban on his travel should be imposed, the plea added.
In its plea against Monnujan and her relatives, the ACC said it is probing allegations of amassment of huge illegal wealth through corruption and misuse of power against Monnujan and her close associates. She can flee the country anytime to evade justice, it added.
