Azam Khan, Son Convicted in PAN Card Fraud Case
A politician named Azam Khan and his son Abdullah were found guilty of using fake information to get two different identity cards for taxes, called PAN cards.
Abdullah used different birth dates on these cards compared to his school and bank records.
The court decided that Azam Khan helped his son in this scheme to cheat and forge documents.
After the judge announced the sentence, Azam Khan and Abdullah were taken to jail.
The total sentence is seven years, but they won't have to serve the full time because they have already spent some months in jail for other cases.
The prosecution team is looking at the judge's decision and might ask for a longer sentence if they think seven years isn't enough.
Azam Khan and son Abdullah convicted for obtaining two PAN cards with different dates of birth.
Sentenced to seven years in jail each, with varying terms under different IPC sections.
Abdullah obtained PAN cards with fabricated dates of birth, with Azam Khan's alleged involvement.
Both father and son taken into custody following the conviction.
