The case was filed by Shahibur Rahaman, a Relationship Officer at IFIC Bank, following the dishonoring of two cheques totaling Tk 4,14,57,000.
According to the case details, the cheques were issued by Agro Farm, a company owned by Shakib, which had taken loans from the bank’s Banani branch for business purposes. The cheques were returned due to insufficient funds.
Earlier, on December 18 last year, a Dhaka court had issued a summons for the accused to appear in court on this date, which they failed to comply with, leading to the arrest warrant.

He has not been charged over those allegations.
Shakib was playing in a domestic Twenty20 cricket competition in Canada when Hasina's government collapsed and has not returned to Bangladesh since.
The left-arm allrounder has played 71 Tests, 247 one-day internationals and 129 Twenty20s for Bangladesh, taking a combined 712 wickets.
However, he was left out of the 15-man squad for the one-day international tournament in the Champions Trophy in Pakistan and Dubai next month.
