A Dhaka court has imposed a travel ban on Major General (Retd) Md Salah Uddin Miaji, former military secretary to the ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, his wife Nazma begum, daughters Samiha Shabnam and Raiya Shabnam, reports BSS.

Dhaka Metropolitan Senior Special Judge Md Zakir Hossain Galib passed the order on Tuesday, granting a petition filed the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC).
