A Dhaka court has ordered the seizure of cricketer Shakib Al Hasan’s assets in connection with a fraud case involving IFIC Bank and an amount of approximately Tk 4.15 crore. The order was issued on Monday (March 24) by Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Ziadur Rahman.

The court had scheduled the submission of the compliance report regarding Shakib’s arrest warrant. As he remained absconding, the plaintiff requested the court to seize his assets, which was granted. Previously, on January 19, the same court had issued an arrest warrant against him.

The case was initially filed on December 15 last year by Shahibur Rahman on behalf of IFIC Bank at the court of Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Mahbubul Haque. Shakib, along with three others, was named as an accused. The other accused are Gazi Shahagir Hossain, Managing Director of Shakib Al Hasan Agro Farm Ltd., and directors Imdadul Haque and Malaika Begum.

Among them, Imdadul Haque and Malaika Begum appeared in court, while the others failed to do so, leading to the issuance of arrest warrants against them.

According to the case details, Shakib’s company, Shakib Al Hasan Agro Farm Ltd., took loans from IFIC Bank’s Banani branch for business purposes. The company issued two checks as repayment, but they were dishonored due to insufficient funds, amounting to approximately Tk 4.15 crore.
