Travel ban imposed on ex-CID chief Mohammad Ali Mia

A court in Dhaka on Monday 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.
