 DHAKA, Sept 21, 2021 (BSS) - A Dhaka court today set September 30 for
holding arguments in a graft case against former state minister for home
affairs Lutfozzaman Babar.

 Judge Mohammad Shahidul Islam of Dhaka Special Judge Court-7 passed the
order as he read out the charges brought against Babar and testimonies of the
prosecution witnesses.

The court after that asked Babar whether he wants to plead guilty or
not.

filed a charge sheet in the case.

The court on August 12, 2008, indicted Babar in the graft case.
