A Dhaka court on Monday imposed a travel ban on Rongdhonu Group owner Rafikul Islam, his sons Mehedi Hasan Dipu and Kawser Ahmed Apu.
Dhaka metropolitan senior special judge Md Zakir Hossain Galib passed the order, allowing a plea of the Anti-Corruption Commission.
The anti-graft body in its plea said that it was probing allegations against the accused of taking Tk 1,000 crore loans from Islami Bank Bangladesh PLC through forged documents, embezzling the money, laundering the huge sum abroad, and amassing illegal wealth.
They may escape the country to evade justice and a travel ban should be imposed on them immediately, it added.
Meanwhile, the same court on Monday also imposed a travel ban on Afsar Group owner Soma Nasrin over charges of taking a loan of around Tk 3,000 crore from different banks and financial institutes through forgery, embezzling the money and laundering that abroad.
