The Anti-Corruption Commission, which yesterday began probing the coal going missing from the Barapukuria mine, shifted to high gear and is already smelling graft.

High Court extends its stay by six months on the proceedings of Barapukuria coalmine graft case against BNP chief Khaleda Zia.

A High Court bench is assigned to dispose of four petitions filed by BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia challenging legality of the proceedings of three graft cases.

BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia has expressed no-confidence in a High Court bench, which is set to give its verdict on April 5 on a petition for scraping the proceedings of Barapukuria coalmine corruption case against her.
