Dhaka, Dec. 1 -- A Dhaka court has convicted British MP Tulip Siddiq in a corruption case related to the allotment of a 10-katha plot in Purbachal and sentenced her to two years in prison.

On Monday, Judge Rabiul Alam of the Special Judge's Court delivered the verdict in the case, which also involved Tulip's mother, Sheikh Rehana, who was sentenced to seven years in prison.

Tulip's aunt, ousted prime minister Sheikh Hasina, was sentenced to five years along with the other defendants in the case.

Tulip resigned from her position as city minister in the United Kingdom in January amid criticism over reports that she had received a £700,000 flat in London as a "gift" from a developer allegedly linked to her family and the Awami League...
