The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has sent a letter to Inspector General of Police (IGP) Baharul Alam, requesting the issuance of an Interpol Red Notice to arrest former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and her son Sajeeb Wazed Joy.

The letter was sent on Thursday afternoon by the investigation officers handling a case filed over alleged plot fraud. ACC Deputy Director and Public Relations Officer Md. Aktarul Islam confirmed the information.

The letter states that a court-issued warrant of arrest exists against former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. The investigation revealed that she is currently abroad. The purpose of the notice is to identify her location, bring her back to the country, and face the law in the interest of justice.

Similarly, the investigation into the case filed against Sajeeb Wazed Joy found that he is also abroad. The ACC aims to determine his whereabouts, bring him back, and ensure he faces the law for justice.

It is noteworthy that hearings in three separate cases filed against the former Prime Minister, her family members, and other accused regarding alleged plot allocation fraud by the Capital Development Authority (RAJUK) have already reached their third day.
