Dhaka,
Bangladesh’s ex-prime minister Khaleda Zia was today granted bail in a corruption case but her plans to walk free were thwarted as a fresh warrant was issued against her in another case.

Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) chief Zia, 72, was sentenced to five years in jail on February 8 in connection with the embezzlement case. But hours after the high court bail order, she was “shown arrested” in another criminal case under a separate arrest warrant, officials said.
