Arrest warrant issued against Shakib Al Hassan

In a case of cheque dishonor, a Dhaka court has issued arrest warrants against four individuals, including cricketer and former Magura-1 Member of Parliament Shakib Al Hassan.

The order was issued by Dhaka's Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Ziadur Rahman on Sunday.

Apart from Shakib, three other individuals have also had arrest warrants issued in the same case.

They are Gazi Shahagir Hossain, the managing director of Shakib Al Hassan Agro Farm, Director Imdadul Haque and Malaika Begum.

The case was filed on December 15 by Shahibur Rahman on behalf of IFIC Bank, at the court of Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Mahbubul Haque in Dhaka.

The court accepted the complainant's statement and ordered the accused to appear in court by Saturday.

As the accused failed to appear, the court issued the arrest warrants.

According to the case details, Shakib's Agro Farm had taken loans at different times from the Banani branch of IFIC Bank for business purposes.

In return, two cheques were issued by the farm.

However, when attempting to withdraw money using the cheques, they were dishonored due to insufficient funds.

The total amount involved in the two dishonored cheques is approximately Tk4.15 crore.
