Jail Killing Case SC upholds death penalty of Hashem, Marfat
DHAKA: The Appellate Division of the Supreme Court upheld the death penalty of two fugitives Dafadar Marfat Ali and Dafadar Abdul Hashem Mridha in the much-talked-about jail killing case. A 6-member Appellate Division Bench led by Chief Justice M Mozammel Hossain passed the order on Tuesday morning. The court also dismissed the High Court verdict which upheld the death penalty of fugitive Risaldar Muslemuddin and life imprisonment of seven others and acquitted two others who were earlier handed capital punishment.
