A court has imposed a travel ban on Rafiqul Islam, Chairman of Rainbow Group, and his two sons, Kawsar Ahmed and Mehedi Hasan. The order was issued by Dhaka Metropolitan Senior Special Judge Md. Zakir Hossain on Monday following an application by the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC).
The ACC stated that it is investigating allegations against Rafiqul Islam and his sons for embezzling Tk 1,000 crore through fraudulent mortgages in favor of Silver Food Industries and laundering the funds abroad.
