Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Monirul Islam delivered the verdict on Thursday, according to the plaintiff’s lawyer HM Ruhul Amin Molla.

“In addition to their prison sentence, they have been fined Tk 10,000 each. A failure to pay will lead to an additional three months in prison. As the accused are absconding, an arrest warrant has been issued against them in addition to the conviction warrant.

The couple has now received a total of 12 years in prison in five different cases of fraud tied to Evaly.
