Travel ban imposed on Nanak, 11 others 

A Dhaka court has imposed a travel ban on 12 persons including former minister and Awami League presidium member Jahangir Kabir Nanak, his wife Arjuman Banu and daughter S Amrin Rakhi over graft allegations.

Dhaka Metropolitan Senior Special Judge Md Zakir Hossain Galib passed the order on Wednesday, following a petition of the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC).

The anti-graft body in its plea said they are probing allegations against Nanak and others for amassing huge illegal wealth and embezzling state funds through corruption and the accused may try to flee the country. 

 “To deter them from leaving the country, travel ban should be imposed on them” the plea added.
