Sentences ranged from five to six years of rigorous imprisonment (RI), with fines ranging Rs.5-6 lakh.
Special CBI Judge A.H. Ansari Monday convicted 52 people in the case related to illegal withdrawal of Rs.20 crore from the Doranda treasury in Ranchi. The court sentenced eight convicts on the same day, who were awarded three years of RI, with fines between Rs.25,000 to Rs.10 lakh.
