ISLAMABAD: A Bangladesh court has ordered the issuance of an arrest warrant through Interpol for Saima Wazed Putul, daughter of ousted BD prime minister Sheikh Hasina, in a corruption case involving plot allocation.
Interestingly, Bangladesh government has already sought Interpol warrant for ousted prime minister Sheikh Hasina Wajid, who escaped to India and has been living in a cantonment area there.
Dhaka Metropolitan Senior Special Judge Muhammad Zakir Hossain’s court issued the order following an application by the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) on Sunday.
The media report says the ACC launched an investigation on December 26 last year regarding plots allocated in the name of Sheikh Hasina and the members of her family. On January 12, ACC Assistant Director Afnan Jannat Keya filed a case against Hasina, Putul, and 14 others over irregularities in plot allocations under the Purbachal New Town Project. After concluding the investigation, on March 10, the investigating officer, ACC Assistant Director Afnan Jannat Keya, submitted a charge sheet against 18 individuals to the court. On April 10, the court ordered the issuance of arrest warrants for Hasina, Putul, and others in the plot allocation corruption case.
