DHAKA, Aug 10, 2025 (BSS) - Testimony in three separate corruption cases 
against ousted former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina is scheduled to begin 
tomorrow in the capital.
 
These three cases also include 47 others accused including her son Sajeeb 
Wazed Joy and daughter Saima Wazed Putul.

The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) filed the cases accusing Sheikh Hasina 
of abusing her power during her tenure by unlawfully allocating 30 kathas of 
government land under the Purbachal New Town Project.

The hearings will be held in the courtroom of Judge Mohammad Abdullah Al 
Mamun at Dhaka's Special Judge's Court-5.

The court has issued summons for the three plaintiffs-- ACC Deputy Director 
Salahuddin and Assistant Directors Afnan Jannat Keya and SM Rashedul Hasan to 
appear and testify in their respective cases.

ACC Public Prosecutor Mir Ahmed Ali Salam confirmed the matter to BSS stating 
that preparations for the testimony proceedings have been completed.

ACC Deputy Director Md Salahuddin filed one case against eight, including 
Sheikh Hasina, on January 14 for abusing power in allocating a 10-katha plot 
in the Purbachal New Town Project.
 
Investigation Officer and ACC Assistant Director Afnan Jannat Keya on March 
10 submitted the charge sheet against a total of 12 accused.
 
ACC Assistant Director SM Rashedul Hasan filed the other case against 15, 
including Sheikh Hasina and her son Sajeeb Wazed Joy on the same day, in this 
connection. He submitted the charge sheet against 17 on March 10.
 
ACC Assistant Director Afnan Jannat Keya, on January 12, filed another case 
against 16 people, including Sheikh Hasina and Saima Wazed Putul. The
