DHAKA: A Dhaka court has ordered the issuance of an arrest warrant through the Interpol against Saima Wazed Putul, daughter of ousted Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, in connection with a plot allocation corruption case.
Dhaka Metropolitan Senior Special Judge Md Zakir Hossain issued the order on Sunday, following an application by the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC).
Hasina’s daughter, Saima Wazed, is currently serving as the regional director of the World Health Organization (South-East Asia Region).
According to a media report, quoting court and ACC sources, the commission had requested the issuance of the Interpol warrant, and the court granted the request after a hearing.
On April 10, the court had ordered arrest warrants against Hasina and Wazed in the same corruption case.
