A court in Bangladesh on Thursday ordered authorities to request Interpol to issue a red notice for the arrest of Tulip Siddiq, a British MP and the niece of former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
Siddiq, who represents London's Hampstead and Highgate constituency in the UK, is accused of corruption in Bangladesh. According to the South Asian country’s anti‑corruption commission, she used her relationship with Hasina to influence the allocation of land in the upscale Gulshan area of the capital, Dhaka, to a private company. Siddiq’s mother is Hasina’s younger sister, Sheikh Rehana.
