A court on Sunday imposed a travel ban on former director general (DG) of National Security Intelligence (NSI) Major General (Retd) TM Jobayer, and his wife Fahamina Masud over massive graft allegations.
Acting judge of Dhaka Metropolitan Sessions Judge Court Farzana Yasmin passed the order, allowing a plea of the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC), reports BSS.
“TM Jobayer made huge wealth in his name and the names of his family members through corruption and abuse of power. The ACC is probing allegations of buying a house in London at a cost of £29,45,000. At this stage, the accused is trying to flee the country to evade justice,” ACC Public Prosecutor Mahmud Hossain Jahangir said in his arguments.
Meanwhile, the same court on Sunday imposed a travel ban on former fisheries and livestock minister Abdur Rahman over allegations of corruption.
ACC Deputy Director Md Anwarul Haque pleaded to slap a travel ban on the former minister, saying the anti-graft body is probing allegations of graft against Rahman and his family.
He is trying to flee the country to escape justice, the ACC plea added.
