Is there any Android application to control data usage for applications?

Fawad Mirzad asks:

I have had a java phone which used less data while using Opera Mini. After I purchased an Android phone, I see one problem. Although I have disabled background data, still some application uses data and costs me too much of data.
I would like to know is there any application that helps me restrict data access on specific application or not?

Will be thankful for help.

I currently use Radio Opt Traffic Monitor. It is free and does a decent job of tracking which app is using data.
