Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) Chairperson Begum Khaleda Zia has been acquitted in three arson-related cases filed in connection with petrol bomb attacks on a bus and a covered van in Chauddagram, Comilla, in 2015.

The court ruled that Khaleda Zia could not have been involved, as she was confined to her residence in Gulshan during the incidents. Citing the politically motivated nature of the cases, the Law Ministry ordered their withdrawal. With this decision, no pending cases remain against Khaleda Zia in Chauddagram Police Station.
