A special court trying high- profile corruption suspects yesterday sentenced Sajedul Hossain Chowdhury Dipu, son of former state minister Mofazzal Hossain Chowdhury Maya, to three years rigorous imprisonment for non-submission of his wealth statement to the Anti-corruption Commission.

Delivering the judgement, the court also fined the fugitive Dipu to pay Tk 5 lakh or, in default, to serve one year more in jail.

On November 21 last year, ACC assistant director M Ibrahim filed the case with Sutrapur police station against him for not abiding by the edict for submission of his wealth statement under the ongoing purge in the interim period against corruption.
