The trial of Khaleda and three others in the Zia Charitable Trust graft case over alleged embezzlement of around Tk 31.55 million is under way amid BNP protests ahead of the delivery of a verdict in another graft case against the party chief. The judge of the court, Md Akhtaruzzaman, is set to deliver the verdict in Zia Orphanage Trust graft case on Feb 8. The ACC started the Zia Charitable Trust graft case in 2010 against the BNP chief and three others for embezzlement of Tk 31.5 million. After the State presented its arguments on Tuesday, the lawyer for Munna started presenting his arguments.
