ACC deputy director (public relations) Akterul Islam said the ACC is investigating the allegations of amassing huge illegal wealth by Tuku as he engaged in different financial crimes by using his political influence.
"He is now behind bars after getting arrested in different cases. He may flee the country after coming out of jail on bail, which can hinder the investigation of the anti-graft body. So, a travel ban should be imposed on him and his two sons," said the ACC plea.
