A Dhaka court recently set September 17 for the hearing on charge framing against BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia and seven others in Barapukuria coalmine graft case.

 

Judge ASM Ruhul Imran of the Special Judge's Court-2 of Dhaka passed the order.

 

On February 26, 2008, ACC filed the case with Shahbagh Police Station, accusing 16 people including Khaleda and 10 of her former cabinet colleagues of taking Tk 159 crore in kickbacks on the Barapukuria coalmine deal awarded to the highest bidder.

 

On October 5, 2008, ACC pressed charges against Khaleda and 15 others in the case.

 

Earlier, six accused including former ministers M Saifur Rahman and Abdul Mannan Bhuiyan died during the trial, while Jamaat leaders Ali Ahsan Mohammad Mojahid and Motiur Rahman Nizami were executed on charges of committing crimes against humanity during the Liberation War. Therefore, names of the eight were dropped from the trial.
