Police officials said they had not yet received copies of the warrant for Khaleda Zia’s arrest issued by a special court on Wednesday last.
The arrest warrant against the 69-year-old former prime minister was supposed to be sent to the Cantonment, Ramna and Gulshan police stations.
As of Saturday night, officials at the police stations concerned said no arrest warrant had reached them.
“We are yet to receive any [arrest] warrant copy of Khaleda Zia,” Gulshan police station Officer-in-Charge Rafiqul Islam told the Dhaka Tribune.
On February 25, the Dhaka Special Judge’s Court 3 issued a warrant for the arrest of Khaleda and two others accused in two graft cases for failing to appear before the court.
Khaleda has been holed up in her office since January 6, demanding elections under a non-partisan interim government, and did not turn up in court on the day of the graft case hearing.
