Two more witnesses testify in graft case against Tarique, Zubaida

Two more prosecution witnesses (PWs) on Wednesday testified in a graft case against BNP acting chairman Tarique Rahman and his wife Zubaida Rahman, reports BSS.
Afzal and Shanto appeared as PW-30 and 31 and submitted their depositions as seizure list witnesses at the court of Dhaka Metropolitan Sessions Judge Md Asaduzzaman. After recording their depositions, the court adjourned the hearing till July 9.
The court on April 13, 2013, framed charges against the two fugitive accused as it scrapped a petition to allow them to appoint lawyers to defend them in absentia.
Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) on September 26, 2007, filed the case against Tarique Rahman, his wife Zubaida Rahman and mother-in-law Iqbal-Mand Banu for amassing illegal wealth of Taka 4.81 crore and concealing information about the assets.
The anti-graft body filed the charge-sheet in 2008. Zubaida in 2008 filed a petition with the High Court, pleading to quash the proceedings of the case.
