Khaleda not to appear before court for Barapukuria case hearing

A senior jail official has said they are not taking Khaleda Zia to court on Sunday for the hearing of another graft case.

The Special Judge’s Court No. 2 of Dhaka is scheduled to hear the Barapukuria coal mine graft case on the day.

Senior Jail Superintendent Jahangir Kabir said on Saturday night that they were not taking Khaleda to the court, reports bdnews24.

It could be her first public appearance since Feb 8 when another special court sentenced her to five years in jail for corruption in Zia Orphanage Trust.

She is in the old jail on Nazimuddin Road now.

Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal and jail officials said they kept the former prime minister there as it is very near the courts set up for other cases against her.

The court hearing the Barapukuria case is located at Aliya Madrasa premises in Bakhshibazar area.
