A mobile court has sentenced three young women to six months in jail for attempting to cast fake votes in the by-election to the chairman post of Chunta union parishad in Sarail upazila of the district. 

The court, led by Executive Magistrate Firoza Parveen, handed down the verdict while conducting a drive in the Rasulpur Uttar Government Primary School polling centre around 3 pm on Tuesday. 

The convicts are Sadia Akter, 20, Taiyiba Akter, 20, and Sumaiya Sultan, 20. All hail from Rasulpur village of the union.

The by-polls started at 10 am in the morning and will continue till 5 pm. Four candidates are vying for the chairman post.
