A Dhaka court has issued arrest warrants for 53 people, including ousted prime minister Sheikh Hasina, her sister Sheikh Rehana, Rehana’s son Radwan Mujib Siddiq, and her daughters -- British MP Tulip Siddiq and Azmina Siddiq Ruponti -- in a case related to "abuse of power" involving the allocation of six 0.5 acres of land in Dhaka’s Purbachal New Town Project.
Dhaka Metropolitan Special Judge Zakir Hossain Ghalib issued the warrants after reviewing the chargesheets in three separate cases on Sunday, reports bdnews24.com.
Aminul Islam, assistant director of the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) Prosecution Division, said: “The court has ordered a report to be submitted on Apr 27 regarding whether the accused have been arrested or not.”
Earlier, on Apr 10, the same court had earlier issued arrest warrants against Hasina, her daughter Saima Wazed, and 16 others in another corruption case involving plot allocation on Apr 10.
