A court in Bangladesh has issued a new arrest warrant against former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, her daughter Saima Wajed Putul, and 17 others. They are accused of corruption related to illegally getting a residential plot.
The case was filed by the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC), and the Dhaka Metropolitan Senior Special Judge Zakir Hossain Galib has accepted the charge sheet. Since none of the accused appeared in court, the judge issued arrest warrants for all of them.
