A Dhaka court has sentenced former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to a total of 21 years in prison in three corruption cases related to irregularities in the allocation of government plots in Purbachal. The verdict was delivered on Thursday, November 27, by Judge Mohammad Abdullah Al Mamun of Dhaka Special Judge Court-5. The court observed that plots were allocated without proper applications and beyond jurisdiction. Former RAJUK member Mohammad Khurshid Alam, the only accused in custody, was present during the verdict, along with Anti-Corruption Commission lawyers. The cases alleged that Hasina misused her authority as prime minister to obtain plots by concealing information and violating RAJUK regulations, providing financial benefits to officials. Her son Sajeeb Wazed Joy and daughter Saima Wazed Putul are also accused and remain absconding. Separate verdicts in their cases are expected later today, while a related case involving Tulip Siddiq, daughter of Sheikh Rehana, is scheduled for December 1.
