Bangladesh: Sheikh Hasina, 99 others indicted in 6 cases over housing plot scam
Dhaka, Jul 31 (PTI) Two separate courts in Bangladesh on Thursday framed charges in six cases against ousted prime minister Sheikh Hasina and 99 others over irregularities in allocations of plots in a housing project. Of the six cases, Dhaka Special Judge Court-4 Judge Rabiul Alam framed charges in three cases: one against 17 people, including Hasina and her sister Sheikh Rehana; one against 18 people, including Hasina and Azmina Siddiq; and another against Hasina and Radwan Mujib Siddiq, state-run BSS news agency reported. The court fixed August 13 for starting to record the testimonies in the cases and issued arrest warrants against the accused. Dhaka Special Judge Court-5 Judge Mohammad Abdullah Al Mamun framed charges in one case against 12 people, including Hasina; another case against 17 people, including Hasina and her son Sajeeb Wazed Joy; and a third case against 18 people, including Hasina and her daughter Saima Wazed Putul, the agency reported. It issued arrest warrants against the accused and set August 11 for recording the testimonies in the cases, the news agency quoted Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) public prosecutor Mir Ahmed Ali Salam as saying. The two courts last week had set July 31 for holding a hearing on charge framing in the six cases related to irregularities in the allocation of plots in the Rajuk Purbachal New Town Project. The ACC filed the six cases from January 12-14 this year. The investigation officers filed chargesheets on March 10. Hasina, 77, faces multiple cases in Bangladesh after being ousted on August 5 last year following a mass student-led agitation in the country, which forced her to flee Dhaka.

'Ok, Leave Rs 150, But At Least Return My Rs 750': Malegaon Blast Accused To Court
During the court hearing, Kulkarni stated that Rs 900 was confiscated from him at the time of his arrest, but only Rs 750 was officially recorded Sameer Kulkarni, one of the seven individuals acquitted in the 2008 Malegaon blast case, made an unusual request in court, he asked for his Rs 750, confiscated during his arrest, to be returned. During the court hearing, Kulkarni stated that Rs 900 was confiscated from him at the time of his arrest, but only Rs 750 was officially recorded. 'During the arrest, Rs 900 was confiscated from me, but only Rs 750 was shown on paper. Ok, leave Rs 150, but at least return my Rs 750," he told the court. The presiding judge noted the request but reminded him that court directives forbid the return of any case property until further orders. Though Kulkarni is now free, he must wait for the official clearance to retrieve the amount, NDTV reported. Kulkarni also asked for permission to raise nationalist slogans such as 'Bharat Mata Ki Jai" for three seconds, but the court declined, citing the need to maintain discipline in court proceedings. About Malegaon Blast Case Seventeen years after the Malegaon blast killed six people and injured more than 100, a special court in Mumbai on Thursday acquitted all seven accused, including former BJP MP Pragya Singh Thakur and Lt Col Prasad Purohit, declaring a lack of 'reliable and cogent evidence." The court sated, 'Terrorism has no religion" and warned against convictions based on perception alone. Additionally, the court awarded compensation under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act: Rs 2 lakh each to the six victims' families and Rs 50,000 to each of the injured 101 individuals. The father of the youngest victim, 10-year-old Farheen, decried the verdict as unacceptable and vowed to take the matter to the Supreme Court. The trial, initiated by the Maharashtra ATS in 2018 and later overseen by the NIA, involved testimony from 323 witnesses. Thirty-seven turned hostile during proceedings. Special Judge AK Lahoti flagged serious shortcomings in the prosecution's case, noting that suspicion alone could not serve as proof. With these findings, the accused were granted the benefit of the doubt and released. (With inputs from PTI) view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
