Travel ban imposed on Meghna Group Chairman Mostafa Kamal

A Dhaka court on Tuesday imposed a travel ban on the Chairman and Managing Director of Meghna Group of Industries (MGI) Mostafa Kamal over graft allegations. 

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

The anti-graft body, in its plea, said there are allegations of embezzling Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) funds of different banks by Suchona Foundation Chairperson Saima Wazed and others. It has already formed a seven-member probe team to investigate allegations of causing loss of state funds by abetting the implementation of political agendas against Sajeeb Wazed and other members of Sheikh Hasina's family.

"Mostafa Kamal, who is also being probed over the same allegations, may try to flee the country with his family. If he manages to succeed in leaving the country, it can hamper the investigation. That is why a travel ban should be imposed on him," the ACC plea added.
