Dhaka: A court here today imposed a travel ban on four people, including former Principal Officer of Dhaka Bank Ayesha Sadaf Hossain and former Manager Mehedi Zaman Khan, over graft allegations. The other two people, who have been barred from leaving the country, are Liton Chowdhury and Jamil Sharif.
According to Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha, Dhaka Metropolitan Senior Special Judge Md Shahjahan Kabir passed the order, allowing a petition filed by the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC). The anti-graft body in its plea stated that an investigating officer has been appointed to probe the case filed against accused Liton Chowdhury, Jamil Sharif, Ayesha Sadaf Hossain, and Mehedi Zaman Khan on allegations of obtaining loans through forgery and fraud by creating fake documents in collusion with one another and embezzling Taka 85 lakh after transferring, converting, or otherwise diverting the loan money.
The ACC's plea highlighted information from a reliable source suggesting that the accused were attempting to leave the country. As a result, the travel ban was deemed necessary to prevent the accused from travelling abroad, ensuring a fair investigation.
