A Dhaka court has issued a travel ban on A.K.M. Badiul Alam, a member of the National Board of Revenue (NBR) responsible for tax legal and enforcement, following a request from the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC). The order was given by Judge Md. Sabbir Foyez of the Metropolitan Sessions and Senior Special Judge’s Court on Tuesday. ACC Assistant Director Piyas Pal filed the petition, citing corruption allegations against Badiul Alam. The ACC had earlier instructed him to submit a statement of assets, which he has already done, and the verification process is ongoing. According to reliable sources, Badiul Alam was allegedly attempting to flee the country, prompting concerns that his departure could obstruct the investigation. The court therefore deemed the travel restriction necessary to ensure the integrity of the ongoing inquiry.
