Court bars ex-NSI additional director Azizur from leaving country

DHAKA, Feb 08, 2026 (BSS) – A court here today imposed a travel ban on former additional director of the National Security Intelligence (NSI) Azizur Rahman and his wife Amatussami, over graft charges.

Dhaka Metropolitan Senior Special Judge Md Sabbir Faiz passed the order, accepting a petition filed by the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC).

The petition of the anti-graft body stated that Azizur Rahman is under investigation for abuse of power, money laundering, and acquiring assets beyond known income in his and his wife’s names. 

“During the inquiry, it was learned that he and his wife, Amatussami, may flee the country. Without questioning them and collecting evidence, proving the allegations could become difficult. Therefore, barring their foreign travel is essential to ensure a proper investigation,” it added.
