A Chattogram court has issued an arrest warrant against BNP central executive committee member Aslam Chowdhury and his wife Naznin Maola Chowdhury in a loan default case.

Judge Md. Helal Uddin of the Money Loan Court-1 passed the order after the hearing on Tuesday (August 19).

According to court sources, the court gave the order in response to the bank authorities' application for non-repayment of a loan of Tk 260 crore 77 lakh 79 thousand taken from the Pahartali branch of Standard Bank Nagar.

The bank was unable to sell the mortgaged assets at auction due to a lack of interested buyers, read the order.

In 2016, Aslam Chowdhury was arrested in Dhaka’s Khilkhet area for allegedly conspiring to overthrow the Bangladesh government in collaboration with agents of the Israeli intelligence agency, Mossad.

He was released on bail from prison after the mass uprising in July last year. A total of 76 cases have been filed against him at different times.
