Bangladesh's Anti-Corruption Commission has issued an arrest warrant for Tulip Siddiq, a British Labour MP, amid allegations of her receiving land illegally. Siddiq, known for her connection to former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, has denied these allegations, which involve a 7,200 square-foot plot of land in Dhaka. This warrant is part of a broader investigation targeting several individuals linked to Hasina's administration, recently overthrown amid mass protests. Siddiq's legal team insists the charges are politically motivated. Despite her resignation from the British government earlier this year due to scrutiny over her family ties, Siddiq maintains her innocence and argues the charges lack valid evidence.
