Dhaka: A court here today ordered the issuance of a Red Notice through Interpol to arrest Tulip Siddiq, niece of ousted prime minister Sheikh Hasina, in a case filed over allegedly taking a flat illegally from a private developer in the capital's Gulshan-2 area. Dhaka Metropolitan Senior Special Judge Md Sabbir Faiz passed the order, allowing a petition filed by the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC).
According to Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha, the same court previously issued arrest warrants on February 18, 2026, against Tulip Siddiq and Sardar Mosharraf Hossain, former assistant legal adviser of Rajdhani Unnayan Kartripakkha (RAJUK), in the case. The latest petition from the anti-graft body stated that the accused had left the country before the case was filed and is allegedly attempting to destroy evidence and materials helpful to the prosecution. Since she is currently abroad, her arrest, which would involve the issuance of a Red Notice via Interpol, has been deemed necessary.
