A Dhaka court today cancelled bail of BNP Senior Vice Chairman Tarique Rahman and issued an arrest warrant against him in connection with Zia Orphanage Trust graft case.
Judge Abu Ahmed Jomadar of Special Judge Court-3 passed the order rejecting a petition submitted by Tarique's lawyer Sanaullah Miah seeking adjournment of the hearing.
The court also fixed January 30 as the date of hearing and asked BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia to appear before it on that day. Otherwise, her bail will be cancelled.
Sanaullah has been representing Tarique in his absence since he went to London for better treatment in 2008.
Earlier, the same court had directed all the six accused, including BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia and her son Tarique, to appear before it whenever the court fixes dates to question about their involvement with the corruption.
The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) filed the Zia Orphanage Trust corruption case on July 3, 2008 with Ramna Police Station accusing Khaleda, Tarique and four others for misappropriating over Tk 2.10 crore that was received as grant for orphans from a foreign bank.
