A Dhaka court on Sunday imposed a travel ban on former Deputy Attorney General (DAG) Jannatul Ferdousi Rupa over corruption allegations.
Dhaka Metropolitan Senior Special Judge Md Zakir Hossain Galib passed the order, allowing a petition of the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC).
Confirming the matter, ACC deputy director (public relations) Aktarul Islam said the commission is probing allegations of amassing huge illegal wealth through corruption including securing bail for different cases accused in exchange of money against the former DAG.
"The accused may flee the country to evade justice and if she succeeds in doing so, the investigation will be jeopardized. So, a travel ban should be imposed on her," it added.
