A Dhaka court yesterday ordered the authorities concerned to confiscate properties of cricketer and former Awami League MP Shakib Al Hasan in a cheque dishonour case.

Dhaka's Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Md Ziaudur Rahman passed the order following an application submitted by the plaintiff, Atiqur Rahman, bench assistant of the court, told The Daily Star.

In December last year, a summon was issued asking Shakib to appear before the court on January 19 this year, following a case filed by Shahibur Rahman, a relationship officer at IFIC Bank.

On January 19, the court issued an arrest warrant against Shakib after he failed to appear before the court as per its direction.

According to the case statement, Agro Farm, owned by Shakib, had taken loans from the Banani branch of IFIC Bank for business purposes. The company issued two cheques of Tk 41.5 lakh, which were dishonoured due to insufficient funds.
