Arrest warrant issued against Shakib Al Hasan, accused of bank fraud

Bangladesh's star all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan is often surrounded by controversies, but this time the matter has escalated so much that a Dhaka court has issued an arrest warrant against Shakib Al Hasan in the check bounce case related to IFIC Bank. The fans of former Awami League MLA Shakib are quite surprised by the arrest warrant issued against him.

Apart from Shakib, three other persons are also included in the warrant. Dhaka Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Ziadur Rahman issued the order on Sunday. On December 15, Shakib's name came up in the check fraud case. After this, on December 18, after the preliminary hearing, the court ordered him to appear in the court on January 19.

IFIC Bank Relationship Officer Shahibur Rahman filed the case on behalf of the bank, accusing Shakib and three others of failing to fulfill their commitment to transfer BDT 4,14,57,000 (about Tk 41.4 million) through two separate cheques. Accused of failing.

Shakib's company Al Hassan Agro Farm Limited, its managing director Ghazi Shahgir Hussain and directors Imdadul Haq and Malaikar Begum are also involved in this case. Shakib's company had borrowed money from the Banani branch of IFIC Bank several times. As per details of the case, the checks in question were issued to repay a portion of the loan, but were dishonored due to insufficient funds.

In 2023, Shakib entered politics by joining the Awami League and won the Magura-1 constituency in the elections unopposed on January 7, 2024 on the party ticket. However, his political ambitions reportedly led to his “decline in respect” in the public eyes.
