New Twist in Sheikh Hasina Family Corruption Trials: Fugitive’s Sudden Surrender Likely to Delay Verdicts Once Expected in November

The long-anticipated verdicts in six corruption cases against fugitive former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, her sister Sheikh Rehana, son Sajeeb Wazed Joy, daughter Saima Wazed Putul, and other members of the Sheikh family are now uncertain after a surprising courtroom development. Former RAJUK member (Estate & Land) Mohammad Khurshid Alam, one of the accused, unexpectedly surrendered to a Dhaka court on October 29. His surrender, according to legal observers, could trigger a procedural delay, as the defense may now legally seek to recall witnesses for cross-examination under Sections 540 of the CrPC and 138 of the Evidence Act. Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) prosecutors fear the move might be part of a calculated strategy to postpone the rulings expected by November. Trials had been nearing completion, with testimonies recorded in most of the six cases that involve alleged irregularities in RAJUK plot allocations to Hasina’s family during the Awami League’s 15-year rule. Despite the potential delay, ACC officials have emphasized that the trials will continue until completion. The courts have so far rejected Khurshid Alam’s bail plea and ordered his imprisonment.
