imprisonment to another 1 for killing one Suruj Ali in 2009. Joint District and
Metropolitan Sessions' Judge Iftikhar Bin Aziz pronounced the verdict on Monday

relative Bashir Ali. Another brother of the victim Foyzul Ali was sentenced to
life term in the murder case.
The convicts have been fined Tk50,000 each, in default they will have to suffer
one more year in jail.
The court also acquitted 10 other accused as the charges brought against them
could not be proved.
According to the case statement, Suruj Ali was killed in a clash between his
brother Babul Ali and Fazar Ali over land dispute on March 2, 2009. Later,
Babul filed a murder case with South Surma police station the next day.
