The court also fined the convict, Mostafizur Rahman, son of late Mofiz Uddin of Haripur village under Niamatpur upazila, Taka 20,000.

According to the prosecution, Mostafizur Rahman married Rani Begum, daughter of Anisur Rahman Sakidar of Srirampur village in Manda upazila, in 2007. At the time of marriage, Taka 40,000 in cash, a van, and a sewing machine were given as dowry.
