DHAKA, April 10, 2025 (BSS) - A court here today imposed a travel ban of 
former lawmaker of Noakhali-6 constituency Mohammad Ali, his wife Ayesha 
Ferdous, sons-- Ashique Ali and Mahtab Ali-- and daughter Sumaiya Ali Eshita 
over graft allegations.
 
Dhaka Metropolitan Senior Special Judge Md Zakir Hossain Galib passed the 
order upon a petition of the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC).
 
The ACC in its petition has sought issuance of an order prohibiting the five 
accused, ex-MP Ali and his four family members, from traveling abroad as they 
were accused of amassing illegal beyond known sources of income and they are 
trying to flee the country to evade punishments.
 
ACC Deputy Director of Public Relations Aktarul Islam confirmed the matter to 
BSS.
 
In the petition, the ACC alleged that there were allegations against the five 
that they acquired huge illegal wealth through embezzling public money by 
misusing power. They were also accused of money laundering, grabbing khas 
land and building a five-storey commercial hotel on the land.
