“A Bangladesh court on Thursday issued a fresh arrest warrant against ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, her daughter Saima Wajed Putul, and 17 others in connection with a graft case involving alleged fraudulent acquisition of a residential plot. Dhaka Metropolitan Senior Special Judge Zakir Hossain Galib accepted the Anti-Corruption Commission’s (ACC) charge sheet and issued the warrants, noting that all accused were absconding. … This development follows two previous arrest warrants issued by Bangladesh’s International Crimes Tribunal against Hasina and others for alleged crimes against humanity. It also comes a day after the ACC launched a new probe into the alleged misappropriation of Taka 4,000 crore during the ‘Mujib Centenary’ celebrations, involving Hasina, her sister Sheikh Rehana, and retired official Kamal Abdul Naser Chowdhury. … 77-year-old Hasina has reportedly been living in India, which has yet to respond to Bangladesh’s request for her extradition.” (04/10/25)
