MNA National Desk: BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia’s hearing on self-defence statement in the Zia Orphanage Trust graft case has been delayed once again.
Senior Special Judge Quamrul Hossain Molla passed the order and fixed the date on May 15 in the presence of Khaleda Zia in response to a time petition filed by her lawyer.
Earlier in the day, Khaleda Zia appeared before the court around 11:40am for placing her self-defence statement in the graft case but she fell sick after reaching the court.
On July 3, 2008, the ACC filed the Zia Orphanage Trust graft case with Ramna Police Station accusing Khaleda Zia, her eldest son Tarique Rahman and four others for misappropriating over Tk 21 million that came as grants from a foreign bank for orphans.
