The country’s anti-corruption commission has sought an arrest warrant over claims that she illegally received a plot of land in the capital Dhaka, reports said.

This allegation is said to be separate from a probe into Ms Siddiq’s aunt, the deposed Bangladeshi PM Sheikh Hasina, regarding a nuclear power plant deal in which the Labour MP has also been named.
