Traven ban on ex-minister Mujibul, ex-MP Zinnah

A Dhaka court on Thursday, January 9, imposed a travel ban on Awami League government’s Railways Minister Mujibul Haque and former Bogura-2 AL lawmaker Md Shariful Islam Zinnah over graft allegations.

Dhaka Metropolitan Sessions Judge Md Zakir Hossain Galib passed the orders, allowing separate pleas of the Anti-Corruption Commission, ACC.

The anti-graft body in its plea said Mujibul Haque allegedly amassed huge illegal wealth in his and his family members' names through tender rigging and appointing people in different offices taking huge money. The ACC said the accused may try to flee the country to evade justice.

In its plea against Zinnah and his wife, the ACC said the former Bogura-2 lawmaker and his wife acquired properties of Tk 2.61 crore amassed illegally, transferred and transformed the properties. The couple is trying to flee the country and a ban should be imposed against them to make them to face justice, it added.
