In a significant legal advancement,a Dhaka court has imposed a travel ban on 15 individuals,including renowned cricketer Shakib Al Hasan,following a petition from the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC). The ruling, delivered by Judge Mohammad Zakir Hossain Galib, comes in the wake of serious allegations involving a cooperative investment firm accused of fraud and embezzlement. The firm reportedly failed to return promised dividends to investors, raising concerns about the integrity of financial dealings in the country.
According to ACC spokesperson Aktarul Islam, the allegations suggest that influential figures lured ordinary citizens into a fraudulent scheme by showcasing investments under their names. This scandal has not only tarnished reputations but also left many investors in financial distress. Interestingly, Shakib Al Hasan, who played for Bangladesh in India last October, has not returned to the country as, raising eyebrows about his involvement. As the inquiry unfolds, the implications for both the cricketing community and the broader financial landscape in Bangladesh are profound, highlighting the urgent need for accountability and openness in investment practices.
