A Dhaka court has imposed a travel ban on two senior officials of the National Security Intelligence (NSI) agency amid ongoing investigations into corruption and money laundering allegations.
Dhaka Metropolitan Senior Special Judge Mohammad Shahjahan Kabir issued the order on Monday, following a petition filed by the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC). The two officials subject to the restriction are Additional Director M S K Shahin and Joint Director Badrul Ahmed.
Assistant Director Aminul Islam of the ACC’s prosecution wing confirmed the development. The petitions seeking the travel bans were submitted by ACC Assistant Director Bilkis Akter.
Regarding Badrul Ahmed, the commission informed the court that he is currently under investigation for money laundering. The ACC stated that credible information suggests the official is attempting to flee the country, which would significantly impede the recovery of laundered funds.
Similar allegations were presented against M S K Shahin. The ACC is investigating him for abuse of power, bribery, extortion, and the accumulation of wealth beyond his known sources of income. The commission argued that, like Ahmed, there is a substantial risk that Shahin may abscond, thereby undermining the investigative process and efforts to recover illicit assets.
