Led by ACC Deputy Director Golam Shahriar Chowdhury, they questioned the detained BNP chairperson about her property including her two houses that she co-owns and owns in the city’s Gulshan and Cantonment’s Shaheed Mainul Road.
During the 40-minute questioning that started at 3:45pm, the anti-graft team members also asked Khaleda about her bank accounts, FDRs, cars and lands at Savar in details, sources said. Khaleda’s counsel Advocate Ahmed Aazam Khan was present.
In order to avoid the media, the task force team entered the sub-jail through the jail’s west gate.
In her wealth statement submitted to the ACC on August 6, Khaleda mentioned that she has properties worth Tk 3.54 crore. Her statement also shows that she has Tk 1.89 crore as bank balance.
Her wealth statement also includes a 1300 CC Toyota car bought in 1995, two Toyota SUVs and one Nissan SUV bought in 1990.
“Madam (Khaleda Zia) very firmly told the ACC team that there is no inconsistency or irregularity in the wealth statement,” Advocate Aazam told the reporters emerging from the sub-jail.
She also informed the ACC team that she did not conceal anything in her wealth statement, he added.
“They (the ACC team) seemed satisfied as she replied properly,” Advocate Aazam claimed.
