Former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, her sister Sheikh Rehana, and British MP Tulip Siddiq were convicted in a corruption case involving fraudulent plot allocations in Dhaka’s Purbachal New Town project. The Dhaka Special Judge Court-4 sentenced Hasina to five years, Rehana to seven years, and Siddiq to two years in prison, along with fines. Judge Robiul Alam clarified that Hasina was not eligible for state defense because the maximum punishment under Penal Code Section 409 is life imprisonment, not death, and state defense is only provided in cases where a death sentence is possible. The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) alleged that Siddiq used her political influence in the UK to secure plots for her family members. Following the fall of the Awami League government, multiple corruption cases were filed against Hasina and her relatives. Siddiq resigned from her UK ministerial post earlier this year amid growing controversy over the allegations.
