Sir Keir Starmer appointed Tulip Siddiq as Labour 's anti-corruption minister last week .

Siddiq resigned after a slew of corruption allegations that she denied.

Her aunt, Sheikh Hasina , was Bangladesh 's prime minister of more than 20 years , until she was deposed last August .

Hasina 's regime ruled over the worst violence Bangladesh has seen since its war of independence in 1971 .

Tulip Siddiq's connections to Bangladeshi politics was not a major story until she became a minister.

Bin Quasem was finally allowed to return home to his two daughters after being thrown in a car and dumped in a ditch.

He says he missed the best part of life and missed their childhood.

Siddiq is still a Labour MP, but the corruption investigations into Hasina are likely to continue.
