A special Central Bureau of Investigation court in Delhi, on Friday, 27 May, sentenced former Haryana Chief Minister Om Prakash Chautala to four years' imprisonment. The court also imposed a fine of Rs 50 lakh on him.
Further, the court ordered confiscation of his four properties.
A Delhi court had earlier this month held the Indian National Lok Dal (INLD) supremo guilty in a disproportionate assets case, which was registered against him in 2005. His counsel had thereby cited medical grounds for less punishment and submitted that Chautala was partially disabled, having been infected with polio since birth.
The CBI had contended that Chautala had amassed assets worth over Rs 6.09 crore, far exceeding his known sources of income, between 1993 and 2006. In 2019, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) had attached his assets worth Rs 3.68 crore.
