The investigation officer (IO) in a case lodged against 17 people, including ousted prime minister Sheikh Hasina and her sister Sheikh Rehana, over irregularities in the allocation of a Rajuk plot, on Sunday submitted her deposition.
Assistant Director of the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) Afnan Jannat Keya submitted her deposition at Dhaka Special Judge Court-4 and was later cross-examined by the defence. As the cross-examination remained incomplete till the end of Sunday’s proceedings, Judge Robiul Alam adjourned the hearing till Tuesday.

According to the case documents, ACC Deputy Director Salahuddin filed the case on January 13, 2025, against 15 people, including Sheikh Hasina, Sheikh Rehana, Radwan Mujib Siddiq, Tulip Siddiq, and Azmina Siddiq. The IO, after probing, filed the charge-sheet against 17 on March 10.
