Last week, special judge HTC Lalrinchhana found Rahman guilty of misappropriation of funds, cheating, and criminal conspiracy.

He was apprehended in 2015 along with his co-accused Lalremthanga, the former managing director of MAMCO, for their involvement in the embezzlement of Rs 268 lakh.

In November of the previous year, the same court convicted Lalremthanga, sentencing him to 5 years of rigorous imprisonment and imposing a fine of Rs 5 lakh.
