Bangla Press Desk: A Dhaka court on Tuesday imposed a travel ban on eight directors of Prochhaya Limited for their involvement in embezzling over Tk59,000 crore from the construction works of Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) in connivance with ousted prime minister Sheikh Hasina and her family members.
The eight people are Shaheen Siddique, Bushra Siddique, Shehtaj Munnasi Khan, Shahid Uddin Khan, Shafik Ahmed, Parija Painaj Khan, Naorin Tasmia Siddique and Farjana Anjum.
Dhaka Metropolitan Senior Special Judge Md Zakir Hossain Galib passed the order, granting an appeal filed by the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC).
The anti-graft body has formed a seven-member probe team to investigate and report on the alleged embezzlement of over Tk59,000 crore from the RNPP project in connivance with Sheikh Hasina, her son Sajeeb Wazed Joy, sister Sheikh Rehana, niece Tulip Siddique, and others.
