The quantum of punishment on Rajya Sabha member Rasheed Masood, who was found guilty in a case of corruption, will be pronounced today.
Earlier, in the first conviction after the Supreme Court struck down a law that provided immunity to MPs and MLAs from immediate disqualification, a Special CBI court held Rajya Sabha member Masood guilty in a case of corruption and other offences.
The provisions under which Congress MP Masood has been convicted attract imprisonment upto seven years.
Masood, Minister of Health in the VP Singh government between 1990 and 1991, was held guilty of fraudulently nominating undeserving candidates to MBBS seats allotted to Tripura in medical colleges across the country from the central pool.
