Bangladesh all-rounder and politician Shakib Al Hasan is in danger, as an arrest warrant has been issued against him by a Dhaka court on Sunday (January 19).

According to a recent Cricbuzz report, an arrest warrant has been issued against Shakib and three other individuals in connection with a dishonoured cheque. IFIC Bank's Relationship Officer, Shahibur Rahman, has reportedly filed the case on behalf of the bank. The accusation is failing to honor a commitment to transfer BDT 4,14,57,000 via two separate cheques. 

Shakib Al Hasan wasn't present in court

On Sunday, Dhaka Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Ziadur Rahman issued the arrest warrant order.

The former Awami League Member of Parliament, Shakib Al Hasan, has been staying outside Bangladesh since the former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina fled the country during the student movement. 

Shakib was named in the cheque fraud case on December 15, and on December 18, the court ordered him to be present before January 19, 2025. 

Shakib's company couldn't repay a part of the loan on time

The case is about Shakib’s company, Al Hasan Agro Farm Ltd., while its Managing Director Gazi Shahagir Hossein, and directors Emdadul Haque and Malaikar Begum are also under question. The company took loans at various times from IFIC Bank's Banani branch, but their recent cheques for a part of the repayment were dishounoured due to insufficient funds.
