A Dhaka court on Monday ordered the authorities concerned to confiscate the property of cricketer Shakib Al Hasan in a Tk 4 crore cheque disnonour case.
Dhaka Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Ziadur Rahman passed the order following a petition filed by Advocate Rafi Ahsan.
On December 15, last year, Md Shahibur Rahman, relationship officer of IFIC Bank filed the case against four people including Shakib in cheque dishonor case.
The other accused in the case included Sakib AL Hasan Agro Farm Managing Director Gazi Sahagir Hossain, its Director Imdadul Haque and Malaikar Begum.

On January 19, the court summoned Shakib and asked him to appear before the court.
Imdadul, an accused in the case, secured bail in the case upon surrender.
As Shakib and Gazi Shahagir did not appear before the court, the court issued arrest warrants against them.
The court also fixed March 24 for submitting the progress report.
Meanwhile, Shahagir surrendered before the court and secured bail in the case.
According to the case documents, Shakib Al Hasan Agro Farm Limited took loans from the Banani branch of IFIC Bank for business purposes.
The company issued two cheques for a total of approximately Tk 4.14 crore against these loans. However, both cheques were dishonoured due to insufficient funds.
In response, the bank sent a legal notice via a daily newspaper, demanding repayment. Since the loan was not returned within 30 days, the bank filed the case in court.
