A Dhaka court today (March 24) ordered the attachment of properties belonging to cricketer and former Magura-2 MP Shakib Al Hasan in connection with a cheque fraud case.

The directive was issued  by Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Md. Ziadur Rahman after police failed to execute an earlier arrest warrant against Shakib, prompting the plaintiff to request asset seizure.

The case was filed on December 15 by Shahibur Rahman on behalf of IFIC Bank, alleging that Shakib’s company, Shakib Al Hasan Agro Farm Limited, had taken business loans from the bank’s Banani branch. 

Two cheques, totaling approximately 41.5 million taka, were issued to repay the loans but were dishonored due to insufficient funds.

Alongside Shakib, the court proceedings name the company’s managing director, Gazi Shahgir Hossain, and directors, Imdadul Haque and Malaika Begum, as co-accused. The court had previously summoned them to appear on January 18.

With the latest ruling, authorities are expected to proceed with asset attachment measures as part of legal proceedings against the accused.
