The Additional Special Judge for CBI cases S. Manoharan who heard the case sentenced Victor to three years rigorous imprisonment and imposed a fine of Rs.1 lakh.

Jain was sentenced to one year RI with a fine of Rs.80,000.

A few others accused in the case were discharged from the case by the Supreme Court, the release said.
