A Dhaka court summoned cricketer and former Awami League lawmaker Shakib Al Hasan and three other people in a cheque dishonour case.
Dhaka additional chief metropolitan magistrate Mahbubul Haque issued the summons on Sunday asking Shakib and others to appear before the court on January 18 in connection with a cheque dishonour case filed by IFIC bank relationship officer Shahibur Rahaman.
The three others summoned in the case are Gazi Sahagir Hossain, managing director of Shakib Al Hasan Agro Farm; Imdadul Haque, a director of the company; and Malaikar Begum.
Bench assistant Khandaker Shahriar Alam on Wednesday said that the cheque fraud case was filed against cricketer Shakib Al Hasan, also former lawmaker from the Magura-1 constituency, and others on December 15.
According to the case, the agro farm, owned by Shakib, took loans from the Banani branch of IFIC Bank at various times for business purposes. Against that, the company issued two cheques that were dishonoured due to insufficient funds. The amount of money in the two cheques was about Tk 4.15 crore.
