Arrest warrant issued against Shakib Al Hasan

A court has issued an arrest warrant against former Member of Parliament and cricketer Shakib Al Hasan and three others in a cheque dishonour case. 

Dhaka Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Md Ziaur Rahman gave the order as the four men failed to be present before the court on Sunday.

The three others summoned in the case are Gazi Sahagir Hossain, managing director of Shakib Al Hasan Agro Farm; Imdadul Haque, a director of the company; and Malaikar Begum. The cheque dishonour case was filed by IFIC bank relationship officer Shahibur Rahaman.

According to the case, the agro farm, owned by Shakib, took loans from the Banani branch of IFIC Bank at various times for business purposes. Against that, the company issued two cheques that were dishonoured due to insufficient funds. The amount of money in the two cheques was about Tk 4.15 crore.
