A Delhi Court has awarded a four-year jail term to former Harไyana Chief Minister OP Chautala in a disproportionate assets case along with a fine of Rs 50 🏅lakh.
The court had last week convicted Chautala and said he had failed to satisfactorily show sources for his assets and inc🍌ome, which were calculated to be Rs 6.09 crore — 189.11 per cent of his known sources of income.
The Cent💖ral Bureau of Investigation ha🌊d filed the case against Chautala in 2005, accusing him of amassing assets disproportionate to his legitimate income between 1993-2006. The chargesheet was filed on March 26, 2010.
Chautala, while he was Haryana's Chief Minister during 1999-2005, accumulated immovable a🐓nd movable assets disproportionate to his known lawful sources of income in his and his family members' names, 💜in collusion with his family members and others, according to CBI's chargesheet.
While the CBI sought maximum punishment for Chautala, saying it wouldꦯ send a message to society, Chautala urged the court to grant him minimum punishment, citing medical ailments and old age.
