An arrest warrant has been issued against former City Minister Tulip Siddiq by a court in Dhaka over corruption charges. The arrest warrant came after Bangladesh’s Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) submitted a criminal charge sheet against the Labour MP last week. She is accused of pressuring her aunt Sheikh Hasina Wazed, the deposed prime minister of Bangladesh, to allocate three plots of land for the MP’s mother, elder brother and younger sister, all of whom are based in the UK.
