Khaleda's appearance in 11 cases on August 20

A Dhaka court on Sunday has set August 20 for the appearance of BNP chairperson Begum Khaleda Zia before it in 11 cases filed against her.

Dhaka Metropolitan Sessions Judge Md Asaduzzaman reset the date as Khaleda Zia failed to appear before it on Sunday on health ground. 

Some eight cases were filed with Darus Salam Police Station and two others were filed with Jatrabari Police Station for her role in BNP's vandalism during its hartal in 2015. 

Apart from these cases, a sedition case was filed against the BNP chief by a person.

Police submitted a charge sheet against Khaleda and others accused in 2016.

BNP leaders Amanullah Aman, Habib-un-Nabi Khan Sohail and Sultan Salauddin Tuku are the other notable accused in these cases.
