A Dhaka court has sentenced former Bangladeshi leader Sheikh Hasina to five years in prison, her sister Sheikh Rehana to seven years, and Rehana’s daughter, former UK Labour minister Tulip Rizwana Siddiq, to two years for their involvement in a land allocation fraud case tied to the Purbachal New Town Project. The verdict was delivered on Monday by Judge Rabiul Alam of Dhaka’s Special Judge Court-4. The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) filed the case on January 13, accusing Rehana of abusing power to obtain a 10-katha plot illegally. Following investigation, the ACC submitted a charge sheet against 17 individuals on March 10, and the trial began on July 31 after charges were framed. A total of 32 witnesses testified during the proceedings. This ruling follows earlier convictions in November, when Hasina received a total of 21 years in three separate cases, while her son Sajeeb Wazed Joy and daughter Saima Wazed Putul were each sentenced to five years in another case.
