Dhaka: A Dhaka court on Wednesday issued a warrant for the arrest of Iqbal Mand Banu, mother‐in‐law of BNP senior vice chairman Tarique Rahman, in a graft case filed against her for not submitting her wealth statement.

Dhaka Metropolitan Session Judge Kamrul Hossain Mollah passed the order taking cognizance of the chargesheet.

The court also ordered the officer‐in‐charge of Ramna Police Station to submit a report on her arrest by 14 May.

Earlier, on 30 January 2014, ACC Deputy Director RK Majumdar filed the case with Ramna police as she failed to submit her wealth statement within the stipulated time.

According to the prosecution, the ACC issued a notice to Banu on 20 October, 2011 asking her to submit the statement of her moveable and immoveable assets within seven workdays.

But Banu did not submit any statement to the ACC although her caretaker Zakir Hossain received the notice on 25 January, 2012.

Later, on 30 January in 2012, the High Court stayed ACC's notice for four months. But on 3 May, 2012, the Supreme Court stayed the HC's order.
