A court here has imposed a travel ban on former mayor of Narayanganj City Corporation Dr Selina Hayat Ivy over allegations of 
corruption.

Dhaka Metropolitan Sessions Judge Md Zakir Hossain passed the order on November 6 accepting a plea of the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC), Court Inspector Amir Hossain told BSS on Wednesday.

ACC Deputy Director Mohammad Neyamul Ahsan Gazi filed the plea on that day pleading to impose a travel ban on the former Narayanganj City Corporation mayor. The anti-graft body in its plea said they are probing allegations of misusing power, amassing illegal wealth through corruption and irregularities, among others, against Ivy. 

"She may try to flee the country to evade justice. Travel ban should be 
imposed on her to stop her from fleeing the country," the petitioner said.
