Bangladeshi officials testify against former British minister Tulip Siddiq in anti-corruption trial
Bangladeshi anti-corruption officials testified in court on Wednesday (August 13, 2025) against former British Minister Tulip Siddiq, accused of using her familial connection to deposed Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to obtain state-owned land plots in the South Asian country. Mr. Siddiq, who is Ms. Hasina's niece, resigned from her post as an anti-corruption minister in Prime Minister Keir Starmer's government in January following reports that she lived in London properties linked to her aunt and was named in an anti-corruption investigation in Bangladesh. She is being tried together with her mother, Sheikh Rehana, brother, Radwan Mujib, and sister, Azmina. Mr. Siddiq has been charged with facilitating their receipt of state land in a township project near the capital, Dhaka. The four were indicted earlier and asked to appear in court, however, the prosecution said they absconded and would be tried in absentia. The trial at the Dhaka Special Judge Court-4 formally began Wednesday (August 13, 2025) with testimonies by officials of the country's Anti-Corruption Commission. By Wednesday afternoon, the court had heard from two officials and a third is expected to testify later in the day, said Muhammad Tariqul Islam, a public prosecutor. Mr. Siddiq's lawyers had previously called the charges baseless and politically motivated. Separately, the anti-corruption investigation has also alleged that Mr. Siddiq's family was involved in brokering a 2013 deal with Russia for a nuclear power plant in Bangladesh in which large sums of money were said to have been embezzled. Mr. Siddiq represents the north London district of Hampstead and Highgate in Parliament, served in Britain's center-left Labor Party government as economic secretary to the Treasury — the minister responsible for tackling financial corruption. Ms. Hasina was ousted after a 15-year rule in a student-led mass uprising in August last year. She fled to India and has been in exile ever since. Nobel Peace Prize laureate Muhammad Yunus took over as interim leader and vowed to try the former prime minister. Hundreds of protesters were killed during the uprising and Hasina now faces charges, including crimes against humanity.

'Tujhe dekh loonga': 'MLA' car with BJP flag triggers traffic jam in Agra; youth sitting inside threatens cop
AGRA: A dramatic scene unfolded at Kotwali Chauraha when a vehicle bearing an 'MLA' plate (registration UP-81-BY-2324) abruptly stopped on the highway, triggering a traffic jam. The incident occurred around 1:30 pm on Monday. According to witnesses, a traffic constable, noticing the obstruction, politely asked the driver to move the car aside. However, instead of complying, a young man seated inside—accompanied by a gunner—stepped out and berated the constable. The vehicle also sported a BJP flag. The youth allegedly claimed to be the son of a legislator and threatened the officer, saying, 'Tujhe dekh loonga' ('I'll deal with you'). The heated exchange drew a crowd of onlookers and worsened the congestion at the busy crossing. Eyewitnesses said the constable made repeated attempts to defuse the situation, but the man refused to budge. After several minutes of argument, the MLA-marked car finally left for Hathras, restoring traffic flow. Local authorities have not confirmed the identity of the youth or whether any official complaint has been filed in the matter.
