A Dhaka court on Sunday issued arrest warrants against ousted Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, her sister Sheikh Rehana, British MP Tulip Rizwana Siddiq, and 50 others over illegal land acquisition charges. The Anti-Corruption Commission filed three chargesheets accusing them of misusing political power to secure Purbachal plots. Arrest warrants were issued as all 53 accused were absent. Earlier, a separate warrant targeted Hasina’s daughter Saima Wazed Putul. Hasina, accused of corruption, mass murders, and crimes against humanity, has lived in India since her government was overthrown by a student-led uprising on August 5, 2024. Court review is set for April 27. (PC: AFP)
