A Dhaka court has issued an arrest warrant against Md. Ashrafuzzaman, accused of fraudulently using BNP Acting Chairman Tarique Rahman’s name.

The case was filed by Advocate Iltutmish Saudagar Annie, who alleged that the suspect has been deceiving people since the 1/11 political crisis, even defrauding an Awami League minister. After the mass uprising, Ashrafuzzaman allegedly continued financial scams by falsely claiming to be Tarique Rahman’s adviser and a coordinator of BNP’s standing committee. BNP took internal action upon discovering his activities.
