DHAKA, Nov 13, 2024 (BSS) - A court here has imposed a travel ban on former 
mayor of Narayanganj City Corporation Dr Selina Hayat Ivy over allegations of 
corruption.

Dhaka Metropolitan Sessions Judge Md Zakir Hossain passed the order on 
November 6 accepting a plea of the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC), Court 
Inspector Amir Hossain told BSS today.

ACC Deputy Director Mohammad Neyamul Ahsan Gazi filed the plea on that day 
pleading to impose a travel ban on the former Narayanganj City Corporation 
mayor. The anti-graft body in its plea said they are probing allegations of 
misusing power, amassing illegal wealth through corruption and 
irregularities, among others, against Ivy. 

"She may try to flee the country to evade justice. Travel ban should be 
imposed on her to stop her from fleeing the country," the petitioner said.
