DHAKA, April 16, 2025 (BSS) - A court here today imposed a travel ban on former lawmaker from Rajshahi-1 constituency Omor Faruk Chowdhury and his wife Nigar Sultana Chowdhury over graft allegations.

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

The anti-graft body in its plea said it is probing allegations like drug trade, terrorism, extortion, embezzling government funds through corruption, amassing illegal wealth, against Omor Faruk Chowdhury and his wife Nigar Sultana Chowdhury.

"To prevent them from fleeing the country during the investigation, a travel ban should be imposed," the plea added.
