The US Department of State in an announcement on Monday said former chief of Bangladesh Army, Aziz Ahmed, and his immediate family members, were ineligible for entry into the United States.
The decision stems from the US government's findings of former general Aziz Ahmed's involvement in 'significant corruption'.
The State Department's announcement, posted on its website, highlighted Aziz's actions as detrimental to Bangladesh's democratic institutions and eroding public trust in governmental processes.
Specifically, it noted Aziz's interference in public processes to aid his brother in evading accountability for criminal activities within Bangladesh.
Moreover, the announcement emphasised Aziz's complicity in corrupt practices, including improperly awarding military contracts and accepting bribes for personal gain.
These actions directly violated the principles of transparency and integrity, it said.
