A Dhaka court framed Thursday charges against BNP leader Sadeque Hossain Khoka in a case filed against him by the Anti- Corruption Commission (ACC) for amassing wealth illegally and concealing its information, reports UNB.
Dhaka senior special judge Md Jahurul Haq framed charges against Khoka after rejecting a time petition filed by his lawyer and fixed November 16 for starting the trial. BNP vice-chairman Khoka was not present at the court Thursday as he is now in the USA for medical treatment.
ACC assistant director Md Shamsul Alam filed the case against Khoka, his wife Ismat Ara, daughter Sarika Sadeq and son Ishraq Hossain with the Ramna Police Station on December 6, 2007. Md Shamsul Alam, also the investigation officer of the case, submitted a charge sheet against Khoka and his wife on April 2, 2008. According to the case statement, Khoka submitted his wealth statement to the ACC concealing information about his wealth worth Tk 99.7 million in 2007.
