Dhaka: Bangladesh's embattled former premier Khaleda Zia has surrendered before a local court that granted her bail in graft and defamation cases, a week after it issued an arrest warrant against her.

"The bail was granted on conditions that she would inform the court before leaving the country in future," an official of the court told reporters yesterday.
