Another arrest warrant issued against Latif
A Dhaka court yesterday issued yet another warrant for sacked minister Abdul Latif Siddique's arrest in a case filed against him for hurting religious sentiment of Muslims.
Metropolitan Magistrate Atiqur Rahman issued the third arrest warrant against him as Latif failed to appear before the court as per an earlier order.
The arrest warrant was issued after advocate Abed Raza, plaintiff of the case, submitted a petition to the court seeking Latif's arrest.
The magistrate also ordered officers-in-charge of Kalihati and Paltan police stations to submit reports to it by November 30 on the execution of the arrest order.
Advocate Abed Raza, a pro-BNP lawyer, filed the case with the same court against the former posts and telecommunications and ICT minister on October 2.
Hearing the charges brought against Latif, the court summoned him before it on October 27.
The first arrest warrant was issued on October 15, and the second one on October 20.
Siddique who is now staying in Kolkata was removed from the cabinet as well as the Awami League presidium on October 12.
