A Dhaka court set April 9 for holding hearing
on charge framing against BNP Acting Chairman Tarique Rahman and his wife
Zubaida Rahman in a graft case filed against them by the Anti-Corruption
Commission (ACC).
Dhaka Metropolitan Sessions Judge Md Asaduzzaman passed the order today
following a short hearing.
Earlier on November 1, 2022, the court issued arrest warrants against the duo
after accepting the charge-sheet pressed against them. On February 6, this
year, the court issued a gazette asking the couple to appear before the
court.
On September 26 in 2007, the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) filed the case
against Tarique, Zubaida and Tarique's mother-in-law Iqbal Mand Banu for
amassing illegal wealth of Taka 4.81 crore and concealing information about
the assets, said the case documents.
