Former State Minister for Home Affairs Sohel Taj was stopped from traveling abroad at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport in Dhaka while en route to the United States. His sister, Mahjabin Ahmed Mimi, confirmed the incident, saying authorities prevented his departure on Wednesday. She declined to explain further, suggesting reporters “ask them directly” why he was stopped. Airport security authorities confirmed that Taj was under a “travel restriction,” which barred him from leaving the country.
