RANCHI: A special CBI court in Ranchi on Saturday sentenced former Jharkhand minister Anosh Ekka and his wife Menon Ekka to seven years of rigorous imprisonment each in a case related to illegal land acquisition involving violations of the Chota Nagpur Tenancy (CNT) Act, lawyers said.
Former Ranchi Land Reforms Deputy Collector (LRDC) official Kartik Prabhat, and two other accused Manilal Mahto and Brajeshwar Mahto were sentenced to five years of rigorous imprisonment each, while five others were awarded four years of rigorous imprisonment each, they said.
"The court also imposed Rs 1 lakh fine each on the convicts, stating that failure to pay the amount would result in an additional year of imprisonment for the accused persons," a CBI legal counsel said.
