Court Correspondent :
Dhaka Cyber Tribunal yesterday sentenced Fuad Zaman, son-in-law of Bangabandhu murder convict Sultan Shahriar Rashid Khan, to seven years in the prison for belittling Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman by supporting his killers.
Cyber Tribunal Judge Mohammad Ash-Shams Joglul Hossain on Thursday also fined Fuad Tk 5,000 in the case under the ICT Act on Thursday, state counsel Nazrul Islam Shamim said. Fuad will have to serve one more month in the prison if he fails to pay the fine.
The convict, a school teacher and husband of Shahriar Rashid’s daughter Shehnaz Rashid Khan, was sent to the prison after the verdict.
Mohammad Nazmul Ahsan Pias, a member of the Bangabandhu Engineers’ Council at the Ahsanullah University of Science and Technology, filed the case in August 2018 after Fuad wrote a Facebook post supporting the killers of independence leader Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. Fuad was arrested the next month.
