The "flat corruption" case against Tulip Siddiq, the British MP and niece of ousted prime minister Sheikh Hasina, and two others is ready to head to trial, reports bdnews24.com.
On Wednesday, Dhaka Metropolitan Senior Special Judge Md Sabbir Faiz ordered the case to be transferred to the Dhaka Special Judge Court and set Apr 16 for the hearing of the chargesheet.
The court's Bench Assistant Md Riaz Hossain said, "The gazette notification in the case has been published. The case has been ordered to be transferred to another court as it is ready for trial."
Tulip and former RAJUK assistant legal advisor Sardar Mosharraf Hossain and former RAJUK Assistant Legal Advisor Shah Md Khasruzzaman have been named as suspects in the case.
The court has issued arrest warrants against them after declaring them absconding.
On Feb 26, the judge had also ordered the issuance of a red notice through Interpol for the arrest of Tulip.
Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) Assistant Director Monirul Islam filed the case on Apr 15 last year on charges of obtaining a flat at Eastern Housing Limited in Dhaka's Gulshan-2 area "by giving illegal benefits".
