A Dhaka court on Sunday directed to the jail authorities to give division status to BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia as per the jail code.
Judge Md Akhtaruzzaman of the Special Court-5 in Dhaka passed the order after Khaleda’s lawyer Sanaullah Miah moved a petition before the court seeking division for her in jail.
The Special Court-5 on Thursday delivered the 632-page verdict against Khaleda, her elder son Tarique Rahman and four others on different charges in Zia Orphanage Trust graft case.
The Anti-Corruption Commission had filed the case with Ramna Police Station in July 2008, accusing Khaleda and the five convicts of misappropriating over Tk 2.1 crore that had come from a foreign bank as grants for orphans.
