A Dhaka court on Wednesday convicted and sentenced former deputy inspector general (DIG) of police Mizanur Rahman to 14-year imprisonment in a graft case against him and three others.

Judge Monjurul Imam of Dhaka Special Judge Court-6 pronounced the judgment in presence of the former senior police official.

The court also convicted and sentenced Mizan's wife Sohelia Anar Ratna, his younger brother Mahbubur Rahman and nephew Mahmudul Hasan to seven-year jail each in the case.

Anti-Corruption Commission director Manjur Morshed filed the case on June 24, 2019, against four people for amassing illegal wealth of Tk 3.28 core, concealing information about wealth of Tk 3.07 crore.

The ACC filed a charge sheet against them on January 30, 2020, and the court on October 20, 2020, framed charges against them.

Twenty-seven witnesses out of a total of 33 testified in the case.
