A Dhaka court has imposed a travel ban on Liaquat Ali Lucky, the former Director General of Bangladesh Shilpakala Academy.
Acting Judge Mohammad Ibrahim Mia of the Dhaka Metropolitan Sessions Judge Court issued the order on Sunday in response to a petition by the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC).
Earlier, ACC Assistant Director Afnan Jannat Keya filed the petition seeking a travel ban on Liaquat Ali Lucky.
The petition alleged that Liaquat Ali Lucky is accused of embezzling hundreds of crores of taka through bribes, recruitment manipulation, corruption, and fraudulent bills and vouchers, and has laundered a large amount of money abroad.
A four-member team of the ACC has been investigating these allegations against Lucky, the petitioner said.
The accused may leave the country to avoid investigation so to prevent his departure from the country a travel ban against him is necessary.
