Travel ban imposed on Shilpakala ex-DG Liaquat Ali Lucky

A travel ban has been imposed on Liaquat Ali Lucky, former Director General of Bangladesh Shilpakala Academy. 

Acting Judge Mohammad Ibrahim Mia of the Dhaka Metropolitan Sessions Judge Court issued the order on Sunday.

Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) Assistant Director Afnan Jannat Keya filed the petition seeking a travel ban on Liaquat Ali Lucky.

According to the petition, Lucky is accused of embezzling hundreds of crores of Taka through bribes, recruitment manipulation, abuse of power, various irregularities, corruption, and fraudulent bills and vouchers.

He has laundered a substantial amount of money abroad, added the petition.

A four-member team of the ACC has been investigating these allegations against Lucky, AD Keya said. 

In the petition, Keya apprehended that the accused may leave the country to avoid investigation and under the circumstances, a travel ban against him is very much needed.
