Overseas travel ban against 3 people including Harun’s close associate

A Dhaka court has asked authorities concerned to debar three people, two having a namesake, from leaving the country in line with Anti Corruption Commission (ACC) pleas.

Dhaka Metropolitan Senior Special Judge Zakir Hossain Galib passed the order against the three, two being former upazila chairmen.

According to the ACC petition one of police’s former detective branch (DB) chief Harun or Rashid’s close associates, Jahangir Alam was trying to leave the country along with family members as he amassed huge wealth through corrupt means.

The other two are former upazila chairmen of Tanor M Lutfar Haider Rashid and Godagari M Jahangir Alam who too amassed wealth beyond their known legal income sources allegedly through drug smuggling and extortions.

The ACC said that it appeared necessary to issue their travel ban to ensure proper investigations.
