DHAKA, March 01, 2026 (BSS) - A court here today imposed a travel ban on former member of parliament (MP) from Dhaka-4 constituency Sanjida Khanam and former education secretary Nazrul Islam Khan, alias NI Khan, over graft charges. 
 
Dhaka Metropolitan Senior Special Judge Md Sabbir Faiz passed the orders, allowing separate pleas of the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC).
 
According to the ACC plea, an investigation officer has been appointed to probe the allegation against Sanjida Khanam for acquiring illegal assets beyond known sources of income. Reliable sources have learned that the accused may flee abroad. Therefore, in the interest of a fair investigation, it is necessary to impose a travel ban on her.
 
In the petition against NI Khan, the ACC said an investigation officer has been appointed to probe allegations that he embezzled crores of taka by appointing unqualified individuals after becoming chairman of Uddipan NGO, laundered money abroad, engaged in bribery and transfer trade, and acquired illegal assets through various irregularities and corrupt practices.

"Reliable sources have learned that the accused, Nazrul Islam Khan, may flee abroad. Therefore, in the interest of a fair investigation, it is necessary to impose a travel ban on him," the ACC plea added.
