Dr Yunus now acquitted in graft case
Chief Adviser Dr Muhammad Yunus has been acquitted in a graft case filed by the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) just four days after getting acquittal for the labour violations case.
Earlier on 8 August, the interim government led by Dr Yunus took oath after former prime minister Sheikh Hasina resigned from her position and fled the country on 5 August amid the student-led mass uprising.
Adviser of Health and Family Welfare Nurjahan Begum, also the managing director of Grameen Shikkha, a non-profit organisation under Grameen, was also an accused in the graft case.
