HC upholds Salim’s 10-year jail for graft Strikes down 3 yrs for concealing wealth info Staff Correspondent Staff Correspondent The High Court yesterday upheld a lower court s verdict that convicted and sentenced Haji Md Salim to 10 years in prison in a corruption case filed by the ACC during the military-backed caretaker government in 2007. It also upheld a fine of Tk 10 lakh imposed on the Awami League lawmaker from Dhaka-7 for amassing wealth worth Tk 14.65 crore beyond known sources of his income. The HC, however, scrapped another part of the lower court s judgement delivered in 2008 which handed three years imprisonment to Salim for concealing information about his wealth to the Anti-Corruption Commission.
