A Dhaka court has sentenced Abhijit Adhikari Tirtha, a former managing director of Sukhada Properties Limited and associate of financial scam suspect Prashanta Kumar Halder (PK Halder), to seven years in prison in a corruption case. The verdict was delivered on Monday, June 22, 2026, by Judge Md Hasanuzzaman of Dhaka’s Special Judge Court-1. The court imposed two years of imprisonment for concealing wealth information and five years for acquiring assets beyond known income sources. He was also fined Tk 13,505,284, with an additional 30 days of imprisonment in default, and his illegally acquired assets were ordered confiscated by the state.

According to the court, both sentences will run concurrently, meaning Tirtha will serve a maximum of five years under the law. The court official stated that the accused has been absconding since the beginning of the case, and arrest and conviction warrants have been issued against him.

The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) filed the case on March 6, 2023, alleging that Tirtha possessed assets worth Tk 12.25 million inconsistent with his known income. The investigation report was submitted on May 5, 2024, and the trial began on March 13, 2025, with five witnesses testifying during proceedings.
