UNB, Chattogram :
A court here on Monday sentenced a couple and their son — all top officials of a vegetable oil company — to one year’s imprisonment in two cheque dishonour cases.
Additional Metropolitan and Session’s Judge Court-5 of Chattogram Jannatul Ferdous Chowdhury also fined the convicts Tk 9.43 crore.
The convicts are Managing Director of Rubaiya Vegetable Oil Industry Ltd Harun-or-Rashid, his wife and company Chairman Anjuman Ara and director and their son Hasnain Harun.
Complainant’s lawyer Advocate Zia Habib Ahsan said the convicts can secure bail after depositing half of the fine to the court.
According to the prosecution, the convicts provided two cheques for Tk 9.43 crore to one Yeakub Ali for purchasing iron rod which bounced.
On December 11, 2013, two separate cases were filed with the Metropolitan Magistrate Court in this connection.
