A court has imposed a travel ban on former Jessore District Council Chairman and Awami League leader Saifuzzaman Pikul, his wife Shefali Zaman, and their two sons—Tanjib Naushad Pallab and Tanvir Naushad Arnab—amid ongoing investigations into corruption and abuse of power.

Pikul is accused of amassing illicit wealth during his tenure by misappropriating funds from various government projects, illegal sale of thousands of roadside trees, and embezzlement related to land leasing and shop allocations. The court order follows extensive evidence suggesting the illegal accumulation of wealth by Pikul and his family beyond known sources of income.
