A fast-track court, trying high-profile corrupt suspects, Monday indicted Shahrin Islam Tuhin, a nephew of detained BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia, in an income tax evasion case. The court, set up at the Jatiya Sangsad Bhaban complex, passed the order, fixing December 24 for starting the trial with deposition by prosecution witnesses.

On November 25, Deputy Tax Commissioner Golam Kabir of the National Board of Revenue (NBR) filed the case against Tuhin, now on the run, accusing him of evading Tk 8.18 lakh income tax between fiscal years 1998 and 2007 and concealing Tk 3.29 crore in his wealth information submitted to the NBR.
