A court in Tangail yesterday sentenced three people to life term rigorous imprisonment (RI) for killing a Jubo League leader. Tangail District Special Judge Mesbauddoula delivered the verdict in a crowded courtroom and also fined the convicts Tk 10,000 each, in default, to suffer six more months in jail. The convicts are Mizanur Rahman and Enamul Haque of Pichuria village and Shajahan Ali of Shahapur village in Gopalpur upazila. The court, however, acquitted 16 people, as the allegations brought against them were not proved. According to prosecution story, the convicts hacked to death Abu Sayeed Miah, president of Dhopakandi union unit of Jubo League on August 15, 2006 when he was returning home from a destitute feeding programme.
