Two special anti-graft courts, set up in the Jatiya Sangsad Bhaban’s MP hostel, on Monday jailed former prime minister Khaleda Zia’s assignment officer Dr Firoz Mahmood Iqbal for three years and former additional inspector general of police Shahidullah Khan for six years.
M Firoz Alam, the judge of the Special Judge’s Court 1 of Dhaka, jailed Firoz Iqbal for three years for not submitting his wealth statement defying the Anti-Corruption Commission’s notification.
The commission on August 5 filed the case against Firoz Iqbal, as he did not turn up with his wealth report. He was notified by the commission in July to submit his wealth statement in seven working days.
M Ashraf Hossain, the judge of the Special Judge’s Court 5 of Dhaka, sentenced Shahidullah Khan to five years’ imprisonment for concealing wealth information and evading tax for one year.
The court also asked the former police official to pay a fine of Tk 7 lakh or serve 15 more months in jail.
The sentences will come into execution after the arrest or surrender of Shahidullah.
National Board of Revenue filed the case against Shahidullah on September 13 for hiding wealth information of Tk 76.53 lakh from his income tax returns and dodging tax of Tk 16.54 lakh.
The same court on November 19 sentenced Shahidullah’s wife Masuda Shahid to six years in prison for tax-dodging.
