Kabir has been the continuous president of the Bangladesh Insurance Association (BIA), an association of insurance company owners, since 2011.
During the Awami League regime, due to his identity as Hasina's uncle, there was no normal election of the BIA committee for a two-year term.
When asked about Kabir's departure from the country, Special Branch (SB) DIG (Immigration) Moazzem Hossain told Prothom Alo that he left the country on a flight on Sunday morning. When asked if there was any ban on his foreign travel, he refused to comment on the matter.
