A Dhaka court on Wednesday convicted and sentenced a student of Begum Badrunnesa Govt Girls' College to two years and seven months of jail in a case filed under Digital Security Act (DSA), reports BSS.

Judge AM Zulfikar Hayat of Dhaka Cyber Tribunal pronounced the judgement in presence of the convict Nusrat Jahan.

Today was fixed for framing charges in the case and the accused was produced before the court for that.
