Trial of graft case against Huda, Sigma starts


The trial of a graft case against former communications minister Nazmul Huda and his wife Sigma Huda began yesterday at a special judge's court.

Judge AK Roy recorded the deposition made by a deputy director of the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) who filed the case as prosecution witness.

The detained Huda couple was produced before the court amid tight security.

The case was filed with Dhanmondi Police Station On March 21, accusing Huda and Sigma of taking Tk 2.40 crore in bribe from Mir Zakir Hossain, the owner of a construction firm.

After investigation into the case, the ACC official submitted the charge sheet to the Metropolitan Sessions Judge's court on June 4.

On June 21, the case was transferred to the Special Judge's Court for quick disposal.
