A Dhaka court on Sunday ordered the seizure of income tax documents of AHM Shamsuddin Chowdhury Manik, a retired judge of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court, and six others over graft allegations.

The same court also imposed a travel ban on former Police Superintendent of Jashore district, Pralay Kumer Jourder.
Dhaka Metropolitan Senior Special Judge Sabbir Faiz issued the order regarding former justice Manik and six others following seven separate petitions filed by the ACC.

The others whose tax files were ordered to be seized are former Minister Tipu Munshi 
and his wife Irene Malabika Munshi, former State Minister for Foreign Affairs Md Shahriar Alam, Dr Md Enamur Rahman, former Member of Parliament Md Mujibul Haque, and Golam Faruk Khondaker Prince.
According to the petition, investigations are underway against them over allegations of illegal accumulation of wealth and money laundering by abusing power and engaging in corruption.
It is necessary to seize and review the income tax records of the accused up to the 2024-25 fiscal year for the sake of a proper investigation, the petition said. 
Additionally, an investigation is underway against Pralay Kumer over allegations of extortion, smuggling, and amassing illegal wealth, according to the ACC petition. 
A travel ban is needed, as he is trying to leave the country, which can hamper the investigation, the petition added.
