Labour minister Tulip Siddiq investigated for alleged corruption in Bangladesh

Labour minister Tulip Siddiq is under investigation in Bangladesh for allegedly aiding her aunt, former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, in embezzling £5.2 billion meant for major projects, including a nuclear power plant. The Anti-Corruption Commission's probe follows a High Court order and includes Siddiq's family members. Siddiq has not commented, while Labour officials call the allegations "spurious." Sheikh Hasina was ousted in August amid protests and is currently in India. The investigation could lead to tensions between the UK and Bangladesh, raising questions about Siddiq's role in government.
