A Dhaka court on Sunday set April 13 as the date for holding hearing on charge in a graft case against BNP Acting Chairman Tarique Rahman and his wife Zubaida Rahman, reports BSS.
The case was filed against them by the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC).
Dhaka Metropolitan Sessions Judge Md Asaduzzaman passed the order following a short hearing.
