Bangladesh’s Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has expressed dissatisfaction over the court verdict in the Purbachal plot allocation case involving former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, her sister Sheikh Rehana, and niece Tulip Siddiq. The ACC’s prosecutors stated that the judgment did not meet their expectations, as they had sought life imprisonment for the accused based on the evidence presented. On Monday, Dhaka’s Special Judge Court-4 sentenced Sheikh Hasina to five years, Sheikh Rehana to seven years, and Tulip Siddiq to two years in prison, along with fines of 100,000 taka each. Fourteen other accused were each sentenced to five years in prison and fined the same amount. The case, filed in January by ACC Deputy Director Salahuddin, alleged abuse of power and irregularities in the allocation of a 10-katha government plot in the Purbachal New Town Project. Following the verdict, the ACC stated it would consult with the commission to decide on further legal action.
