A Bangladesh court Sunday issued arrest warrants against 11 people, including Khaleda Zia's former political secretary Harris Chowdhury, in the murder case of former finance minister Shah A.M.S. Kibria, a media report said.
The arrest warrants were issued by Habiganj Senior Judicial Magistrate Rashid Ahmed Miron, bdnews24.com reported.
Investigation officer Meherun Nesa Parul submitted to the court a supplementary chargesheet Sunday which also included names of Bangladesh National Party's Ariful Haq Chowdhury and G.K. Gaus. While Haq is the mayor of Sylhet, Gaus is serving as Habiganj mayor for a second consecutive term.
Chowdhury is also wanted in two graft cases. He is on the run.
Kibria was fatally wounded in a grenade attack Jan 27, 2005 while returning from a rally in Habiganj. He died on way to Dhaka.
