Khaleda at court

Staff Correspondent: BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia has appeared before a court in two cases -- the Zia Orphanage and the Zia Charitable Trust graft.

The BNP chief arrived in the court around 11:00am on Thursday, according her lawyer Sanaullah Mia.

She also appeared before the court in two cases on Tuesday and Wednesday.

The trial proceedings of the cases are running at the court of Dhaka's No. 5 Special Judge Dr. Aktaruzzaman.

The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) filed the Zia Orphanage Trust graft case for embezzlement of over Tk 2.1 crore by forming a “fake” trust which existed only on paper in 2008.

In 2011, the anti-graft watchdog filed another case, accusing four persons, including Khaleda Zia, on charges of abusing power in setting up Zia Charitable Trust.
