Bangladesh has issued a warrant for the arrest of Labour MP Tulip Siddiq, reports say (Image: Getty)

       Authorities in Bangladesh have issued a warrant for the arrest of Labour MP Tulip Siddiq, according to a report. The country's Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has sought an arrest warrant for Ms Siddiq over allegations she illegally received a 7,200 square feet plot of land in the country's capital, Dhaka.

       The allegation is reportedly separate from an investigation into Ms Siddiq's aunt, the former Bangladeshi prime minister Sheikh Hasina, The Sunday Telegraph reports. That probe is over a nuclear power plant deal in which the Labour MP has also been named. Ms Siddiq resigned from her post as City minister earlier this year after an investigation by the Prime Minister's ethics adviser into her links to her aunt's regime, which was overthrown last year. Sir Laurie Magnus concluded Ms Siddiq had not breached the Ministerial Code, but he advised Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer to reconsider her responsibilities.

       He said that due to the nature of Ms Siddiq's ministerial responsibilities at that time, it was "regrettable" she wasn't more alert to the "potential reputational risks" to herself and the Government arising from her family's links with Bangladesh.

       Ms Siddiq, who is the MP for Hampstead, was responsible for promoting Britain's financial services sector and stamping out any corrupt practices.

       The Labour MP said in January that she chose to resign, adding she had become "a distraction" from the Government's agenda.

       She has denied the charges levelled against her and accuses the Bangladeshi government of pursuing a "targeted and baseless" campaign against her.

       Earlier this month, Ms Siddiq accused the Bangladeshi authorities of making false allegations about her to the media for months, but that they had never contacted her directly.

       On the latest allegation, Ms Siddiq's legal representative said: "The ACC has made various allegations against Ms Siddiq through the media in the last few months. The allegations are completely false and have been dealt with in writing by Ms Siddiq’s lawyers.

       "The ACC has not responded to Ms Siddiq or put any allegations to her directly or through her lawyers. Ms Siddiq knows nothing about a hearing in Dhaka relating to her and she has no knowledge of any arrest warrant that is said to have been issued.

       "To be clear, there is no basis at all for any charges to be made against her, and there is absolutely no truth in any allegation that she received a plot of land in Dhaka through illegal means.

       "She has never had a plot of land in Bangladesh and she has never influenced any allocation of plots of land to her family members or anyone else. No evidence has been provided by the ACC to support this or any other allegation made against Ms Siddiq, and it is clear to us that the charges are politically motivated."

       The ACC has been approached for comment about the arrest warrant.
