DHAKA, Aug 31, 2026 (BSS) - A court here today imposed a travel ban on 
activities-banned organisation Bangladesh Awami League (AL) office secretary 
Biplab Barua, his wife Soma Barua, brother Bidyut Barua and his wife Agni 
Barua.

Dhaka Metropolitan Senior Special Judge Md Shahjahan Kabir passed the order, 
allowing a plea of the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC).

According to the case documents, allegations are under investigation that 
Biplab Barua, Soma Barua, Bidyut Barua and Agni Barua committed offences 
punishable under the Money Laundering Prevention Act by illegally earning 
money through corruption, bribery, abuse of power and various irregularities, 
and transacting the money through bank accounts operated in their own names 
as well as in the names of persons and organisations linked to their 
interests.

"The accused persons might leave the country and flee abroad. Therefore, 
imposing a travel ban on them is essential in the interest of a fair 
investigation into the allegations," the ACC plea added.
