A Dhaka court imposed a travel ban on journalist Munni Saha, her husband Kabir Hossain Taposh, her mother Appel Rani Saha, and her brothers Topon Kumar Saha and Pronob Kumar Saha in connection with graft allegations.

Dhaka Metropolitan Senior Special Judge Md Zakir Hossain Galib passed the order on Tuesday, allowing a plea from Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) deputy director Md Yasir Arafat.

In its plea, the anti-graft body stated that Munni Saha and her family members, including her husband Kabir Hossain Taposh, the owner of MS Promotions, are accused of amassing illegal wealth.

“The ACC is probing the allegations, and the accused may try to flee the country to evade justice at this stage. So, a travel ban should be imposed on them immediately,” the plea added.
