A Dhaka court has issued an arrest warrant against Mirza Abbas, a member of the BNP Standing Committee, in a graft case filed against him in 2007.

Mirza Abbas did not appear before the hearing today.

His lawyer appealed with a time petition, but this was dismissed by the court.

Judge Monjurul Imam set 2 November for arguments from the prosecution

Several cases have been filed against central leaders of the BNP, including Mirza Abbas, after a clash between police and BNP leaders and workers in the capital's Nayapaltan on 28 October. 

The party's general secretary Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir has been sent to jail after his arrest.
