Court Correspondent :
The Special Judge Court-5 of Dhaka on Thursday rejected the permanent bail petition of BNP Chairperson Begum Khaleda Zia in the Zia Orphanage Trust graft and Zia Charitable Trust graft cases lodged against her.
Judge Dr. Md. Akhtaruzzaman of the special makeshift court in city’s Bakhshibazar area
rejected the bail plea after hearing on it yesterday noon.
BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia arrived at the makeshift court around 11:45am. Earlier, on October 12 the issued arrest warrant against Khaleda Zia cancelling her bail petition in the two cases in her absence. Later, on October 19, the BNP leader surrendered before the court and the court granted her bail in the cases.
The BNP Chief yesterday told the court that she would not indulge in politics of vengeance against her political rival Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina in spite of her abusive remarks against the several members of former President Ziaur Rahman.
The former PM said this while delivering her self-defence statement before the makeshift court in connection with the Zia Orphanage Trust graft case. Later, the court fixed November 16 for delivering further self-defence statement of Khaleda Zia.
The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) filed the Zia Orphanage Trust graft case for embezzlement of over Tk 2.1 crore forming a “fake” Trust which existed only on paper.
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.
