case, after years of his freedom from jail.

On November 15, 2007, Special Judges Court-5 of Dhaka sentenced Tuku to nine years’ imprisonment in the case.
Following an appeal filed against his conviction, the HC acquitted Tuku on June 16, 2011, but the ACC filed a petition with the SC on December 4, seeking leave to appeal against the HC verdict.

Later, the HC cleared Tuku of the charges. - See more at: http://www.daily-sun.com/details_SC-scraps-acquittal-of-Tuku-in-graft-case_748_1_1_1_3.html#sthash.nZjKlEkO.dpuf
