A tribunal in Sylhet on Tuesday sentenced one man to death and three others to life imprisonment in the widely discussed MC College hostel gang rape case, in which a newlywed woman was raped after her husband was held captive.
The court also acquitted four other accused, ruling that the charges against them were not proven. Both the convicted and acquitted individuals were members of the banned Bangladesh Chhatra League.
Judge Swapan Kumar Sarkar of the Sylhet Speedy Trial Tribunal delivered the verdict on Tuesday.
Public Prosecutor Abul Hossain said the court reached its decision based on the testimony of 25 witnesses and the evidence presented during the trial.
