A Dhaka court today sent Sabera Aman, wife of BNP leader Aman Ullah Aman, to jail after rejecting her bail petition in a graft case in which she was convicted for three years in 2007.
Judge Abul Kashem of Dhaka's Special Judge Court-1 passed the order after she surrendered before it and submitted a bail petition through her lawyer in the case.
On August 7, the High Court released a full text verdict against Aman and his wife dismissing their jail sentences.
In the full text of the verdict, the HC asked the couple to surrender before the trial court within 15 days after receiving the judgment copy.
After receiving the copy, the trial court on August 27 asked the couple to surrender before it within 15 days.
The same HC bench on May 30 this year upheld the trial court verdict that jailed Aman and his wife Sabera in a corruption case filed during the caretaker government rule from 2007-08.
On June 21, 2007, the trial court sentenced Aman to 13 years' imprisonment for amassing wealth illegally and concealing information in his wealth statement.
His wife Sabera was also sentenced to three years' imprisonment by the same court as she was found guilty of abetting the offence.
Following an appeal filed by the couple, the HC on August 16, 2010 acquitted them of the graft charges.
The Appellate Division of the SC on May 26, 2014 cancelled the HC verdict and asked it to hold a fresh hearing on their appeals.
