A Dhaka court today (25 May) convicted and sentenced expelled Jubo Mohila League leader Shamima Nur Papia to four years in jail in a money laundering case.

Judge Md Monjurul Hossain of Dhaka Special Judge Court-8 pronounced the judgment in absence of the convict. The court also fined her Taka five lakh, in default of which she will have to suffer three more months in jail.

The court also acquitted four, including Papia's husband Mofijur Rahman alias Sumon Chowdhury, of the charges as the prosecution could not prove the allegations against them, court clerk Foijur Rahman told BSS.
