Bangladesh's Anti-Corruption Commission has issued an arrest warrant for Tulip Siddiq, MP for Hampstead and Highgate, due to claims she unlawfully received a significant plot of land in Dhaka. This warrant is connected to separate investigations of her aunt, former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, particularly concerning a nuclear power plant deal. Siddiq resigned from her Treasury role earlier this year due to ethical concerns surrounding her ties to her aunt's regime, despite being cleared of breaching ministerial guidelines by an independent ethics adviser.
The investigation into Tulip Siddiq is significant, focusing on allegations of illicit land acquisition, separate from an ongoing probe concerning connections to her aunt's political tenure.
In resigning from her Treasury post, Siddiq expressed concern about being a distraction, despite the ethics commission clearing her of a code breach.
