DHAKA, March 25, 2025 (BSS) - A court here today discharged BNP Chairperson 
Begum Khaleda Zia's younger brother Shamim Iskandar and his wife Kaniz Fatema 
from a graft case filed by the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC).

The ACC in 2007 sent a notice to Shamim Iskandar, seeking his and his 
family's wealth statements.

information about their wealth. The ACC filed the case with Ramna Police 
Station in 2008.
