The Women and Children Repression Prevention Special Tribunal Court of Panchagarh on Tuesday sentenced two people to life term rigorous imprisonment (RI) for abducting an NGO worker. District and Sessions Judge of Panchagarh M Abdus Salek delivered the judgement acquitting two others as the charges brought against them could not be proved.
