A court here today issued an arrest warrant through Interpol against Saima Wazed Putul, daughter of ex Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, in a case lodged over alleged corruption in 10-katha-plot allocation in Purbachal New Town.

Judge Md Zakir Hossain of Dhaka Metropolitan Senior Special Judge's Court passed the order following an application placed by the Anti-Corruption Commission.

Earlier, the same court issued arrest warrants against 18 individuals, including Sheikh Hasina and Saima, in connection with the case over fraud in Purbachal plot allocation on April 10.

As Putul is staying outside the country, the investigating officer today pleaded for an arrest warrant against here through Interpol.

After the hearing, the court granted the application.

On January 12, 2025, ACC Assistant Director Afnan Jannat Keya filed a case against Sheikh Hasina and Putul and 16 others in connection with the 10-katha plot fraud in Purbachal, Dhaka.
