    A total of 2,33,33,500 taka was given to the Zia Orphanage Trust from the “Prime Minister’s Orphanage Trust” on November 13, 1993, to establish an orphanage in Bogra district of Bangladesh.

    The amount of money was deposited in the Zia trust account on Nov. 15, 1993 and 400000 taka was withdrawn from the trust account of which Tk 277000 was spent on buying 2.79 acres of land at Gabtoli in Bogra under the name of Zia Orphanage Trust.

    In the following 13 years, between 1993 and April 2006, there was no activity of the trust and the amount saved in the account of the trust grew to Tk 3.37 crore with bank interest.

    According to the case docuements, the money came from Abroad donated by a Foreigner through United Saudi Commercial Bank to prime minister’s orphanage fund, which is a public fund.

    But the money was transferred to Zia Orphanage Trust, a private fund, and the accused misappropriated the money by transferring the amount from a public fund to a private one, it said.

    The defense counsels, however, said former Amir of Kuwait had sent $126,000 to a private fund to build an orphanage in memory of late president Ziaur Rahman. But the prosecution submitted “forged documents” to make the private fund appear as a public fund under the PM office, only to implicate and harass Khaleda for “political purposes”, defense counsels told the court.
