A Dhaka court sentenced on Wednesday four people including former mayor of undivided Dhaka City Corporation (DCC) and BNP leader Sadek Hossain Khoka to ten years' imprisonment in a case filed for alleged corruption in leasing a multi-storey car parking in the city's Banani area, reports UNB.
Dhaka divisional special Judge Mizanur Rahman Khan passed the order following a hearing on the case.
The three others convicts are DCC Unique Complex Shop Owners' Association president Abdul Baten Nakib, its general secretary Mahmud Hasan Azad and car parking manager HM Tarek.
The court also fined Tk 2.0 million to Khoka while 1.0 million to each of the other convicts.
Earlier on November 29 2015, a court framed charges against the BNP leader and three others in the case.
On June 24, 2015, a lower court issued a warrant for the arrest of BNP leader Khoka as he did not appear before it during hearing on the day.
Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) deputy director Nur Hossain, also investigation officer of the case, submitted a charge sheet against the four accused on November 11 in 2012.
