New Delhi, May 28

A Delhi court Friday sentenced former Haryana Chief Minister Om Prakash Chautala to four years rigorous imprisonment in a disproportionate assets case.

Special Judge Vikas Dhull said the sentence awarded to Chautala was “just and reasonable to meet the ends of justice”.

The Court also imposed a fine of Rs 50 lakh and seized four properties belonging to the 87-year-old Chautala — two in Delhi and one each in Gurgaon and Panchkula  observing that if potential offenders acquire assets abusing their official positions.

Of the Rs 50 lakh, the court ordered Rs 5 lakh be given to CBI for expenses incurred in prosecuting this case.
