A Dhaka court has scheduled November 25 for the presentation of arguments in a corruption case filed by the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) against former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, her sister Sheikh Rehana, and 15 others. The case alleges abuse of power in the allocation of a 10-katha government plot in the Purbachal New Town Project. On Sunday, Judge Rabiul Alam of Dhaka’s Special Judge Court-4 fixed the date after one accused, Khurshid Alam, pleaded innocence, while Hasina and 16 others remained absconding. The ACC filed the case on January 13, accusing the defendants of irregularities in land allocation. Following investigation, a charge sheet against 17 individuals, including former officials of the Housing and Public Works Ministry and RAJUK, was submitted on March 10. The court had earlier framed charges on July 31, and 32 witnesses have testified so far. The upcoming hearing will focus on final arguments before the court proceeds toward judgment.
