Dhaka, Apr 29 (morningnews24.com) – A Dhaka court adjourned hearing on Sunday on the charge-framing against the BNP chief Khaleda Zia, her son Tarique Rahman and four others to July 14.
Judge Mohammad Mozammel Hossain of the Dhaka Special Judge's Court-3 rescheduled the hearing following plea from Khaleda's lawyers Taherul Islam Touhid and Joynal Abedin Mesbah.
The BNP chief's lawyers said Khaleda could not come to the court over security concerns on the first day of the dawn-to-dusk shutdown.
Barrister Mahbub Uddin Khokon, lawyer for Tarique, appeared before the court as the BNP senior vice-chairman has been living abroad.
The other accused are former MP from a Magura constituency Qazi Solimul Hoque, former bureaucrat Kamaluddin Siddiqui, businessman Shorfuddin Ahmed and Mominur Rahman.
Qazi Solimul Hoque and Shorfuddin Ahmed, who had earlier secured bail, were absent at the court. Their lawyers pleaded for more time. The other two accused in the case are absconding.
On July 3, 2008, the ACC filed the case with Ramna Police Station accusing seven, including Khaleda and Tarique of embezzling over Tk 21 million from the Zia Orphanage Trust.
ACC deputy director Harunur Rashid, investigation officer of the case, filed the charge sheet of the case on Aug 5 last year accusing the former prime minister, her elder son and four others.
