Dhaka Drug Court Judge Syed Kamal Hossain announced the verdict on Thursday, 26 years after the case was filed over multiple deaths caused by the adulterated medicine. Abdur Rab, a director of the now defunct laboratory, was sentenced to prison and fined Tk 50,000. Mahbub and Delwar were present in the court during the verdict while Quader was on the run. Polychem Managing Director Harunur Rashid’s name was dropped from the case after he died during the trial process. On January of 1993, the then Department of Drug Administration filed a case against five including Polychem director Rab.
