Dhaka court issues arrest warrant against Shakib Al Hasan over bounced cheques, as he fears returning to Bangladesh.
A Dhaka court, on Sunday (January 19, 2025), issued an arrest warrant against Bangladesh all-rounder and former Awami League MP Shakib Al Hasan over two bounced bank cheques.
Mr. Hasan hasn't returned to Bangladesh fearing a threat to his life after deposed PM Sheikh Hasina was forced to flee the country due to civil unrest last year.
“Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Ziadur Rahman issued the arrest warrant asking police to submit a report on the execution of the order on March 24,” a court official told reporters.
He said the warrant was issued as Mr. Hasan, also the chairman of an agriculture farm, failed to appear in the court as ordered earlier over a case related to bounced cheques.
Another identical warrant was issued against the managing director of the farm Gazi Shahagir Hossain as well as since he too did not respond to the summon.
Mr. Hasan, Bangladesh's greatest-ever cricketer played his last Test match against India in Kanpur late last year. The Champions Trophy in Dubai is supposed to be his last appearance in Bangladesh colours.
Currently he is banned from bowling in all forms of cricket due to suspect action.
