A Dhaka court today imposed a travel ban on RAB-2
additional superintendent of police (ASP) Uttam Kumar Biswas in a graft case.
Dhaka Metropolitan Senior Special Judge Mohammad Ash Shams Jaglul Hossain
passed the order, allowing a plea from the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC).
Investigation officer ACC assistant director Ruhul Haque filed the plea to
impose a ban on the RAB official from leaving the country.
The anti-graft body is conducting a probe against Uttam Kumar Biswas and his
family for allegedly amassing huge wealth through different irregularities
and corruption. It has already issued notice to submit wealth statements by
the accused and his wife.
The investigation officer in his plea for a travel ban, said during his
investigation he found out that the accused had withdrawn huge sums from many
bank accounts right after getting the ACC notice and closed those to deter
the investigation. The accused not only remained unhelpful in conducting the
probe but also continued to hamper the pr
ocess by providing false and
confusing information.
The ACC plea also said the accused is conspiring to leave the country to
evade justice.
