Travel ban imposed on Taposh, his wife

A Dhaka court has imposed a travel ban on former Dhaka South City Corporation (DSCC) mayor Sheikh Fazle Noor Taposh and his wife Afrin Taposh.

Dhaka Metropolitan Senior Special Judge Md Zakir Hossain passed the order, allowing a plea of the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) on Monday.

ACC Deputy Director Md Monirul Islam filed the plea at the court.

According to the case documents, the anti-graft body is probing allegations of amassing huge illegal wealth through corruption against Taposh. A travel ban should be imposed against him and his wife so that they cannot escape the country to evade justice, DD said in his prayer.
