DHAKA, Oct 11, 2021 (BSS) - A Dhaka court is scheduled to pronounce 
judgement in a graft case against former state minister for home affairs 
Lutfozzaman Babar, tomorrow.

     Judge Mohammad Shahidul Islam of Dhaka Special Judge Court-7 on October 
4 had set October 12 for pronouncing judgement as both the prosecution and 
defence concluded their parts of closing arguments on that day.

     The court on September 21 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.

     In reply, Babar had pleaded not guilty and demanded justice from the 
court.

     The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) filed the case against Babar with 
Ramna Police Station on January 13 in 2008, for amassing illegal wealth of 
around Taka 7.05 crore.

     Deputy Assistant Director of the ACC Rupok Kumar Saha on July 16, 2008, 
filed a charge sheet in the case.

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