DHAKA, Feb 25, 2025 (BSS) - A court here today imposed a travel ban on Nayeemul
Islam Khan, former press secretary of the ousted prime minister Sheikh Hasina,
his wife Nasima Khan Monty, daughters Labiba Nayeem Khan, Julika Nayeem
Khan and Adiva Nayeem Khan, over graft allegations.

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

The ACC in its plea said Khan is accused of amassing huge illegal wealth and
covering the source of that ill-gotten money. The anti-graft body is probing
allegations of making suspicious transactions of depositing Taka 386 crore and
withdrawing Taka 379 crore in 163 bank accounts in his and his family members’
names.

"For the sake of proper investigation of the case, a travel ban should be imposed on
them," the ACC said.

Earlier on February 9, the court ordered to freeze tax files of Nayeemul Islam Khan
and his wife.
