A court here today imposed a travel ban on former 

chief of Criminal Investigation Department (CID) Mohammad Ali Mia over graft 

allegations.

Dhaka Metropolitan Senior Special Judge Md Zakir Hossain Galib passed the 

order, allowing a petition of the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC).

The anti-graft body in its plea said it has appointed an investigation 

officer to probe allegations of amassing illegal wealth by Mohammad Ali Mia, 

also a former additional inspector general (AIG) of police. 

"It has been learned from the trusted sources that the accused is trying to 

flee the country and if he succeeds in doing so, the investigation can be 

hampered. So, a travel ban should be imposed on him immediately," the ACC 

plea added.
