A court on Wednesday imposed a travel embargo on former commissioner of Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) Khandker Golam Faruq and his wife Sharmin Akter over graft allegations.
Dhaka Metropolitan Senior Special Judge Md Zakir Hossain passed the order, allowing a plea from the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC).
Assistant director of the ACC Md Rakibul Hayat filed the plea, saying the anti-graft body is probing allegations of amassing illegal wealth of Tk3,000 crore and laundering money abroad against the former DMP chief and his wife.
The ACC learned that the accused are trying to flee the country to evade justice and a travel ban should be imposed against them to make them stand trial, the petition said.
