Thiruvananthapuram, Oct 31: A court in Kasargod on Tuesday sentenced opposition Indian Union Muslim League legislator A.K.M. Ashraf, representing the Manjeswaram constituency, to one-year imprisonment and a fine of Rs 10,000 in a 13-year-old case of assaulting an official.
In 2010, Ashraf had taken up cudgels with government official Damodaran while dealing with corrections in the voters list and there was a heated argument which led to an alleged manhandling of the official.
Ashraf, along with other three IUML workers, was arraigned as accused and the verdict on Tuesday deemed all as guilty.
