Travel ban issued on Sadek Khan

A Dhaka court has imposed a travel ban on former Dhaka-13 lawmaker Sadek Khan over graft allegations.

Dhaka Metropolitan Senior Special Judge Zakir Hossain Galib passed the order on Monday (February 3), allowing a plea filed by the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC).

In its application, the anti-graft body said the former lawmaker is accused of amassing illegal wealth of Tk 7.30 crore and making suspicious transactions of Tk 466.47 crore through 29 bank accounts under his and his companies’ names.

The ACC in its plea also said it is probing the allegations against Sadek and the accounts should be frozen for the sake of proper investigation.
