Bangladeshi Man Sentenced to 20 Years for Stabbing Cashier in Hulhumale

The Criminal Court has sentenced Bangladeshi national Jahangir Mia to 20 years in prison and fined him seven million rufiyaa for stabbing a cashier at a shop in Hulhumale. Jahangir Mia stabbed a Nepalese female cashier at a shop on Nirolu Magu in Hulhumale in September last year. The charge against him was committing violent assault against another person. The Office of the Prosecutor General stated that he was sentenced to 20 years in prison and fined seven million rufiyaa after the charge was proven yesterday. Although he was sentenced to 20 years in prison, due to the deduction of the period spent in custody, the sentence he must serve is 18 years, 10 months and 29 days imprisonment.
