Kishore Kumar, a JUI-F member of the KP assembly, was found guilty on Monday of contesting the 2008 elections after submitting a fake graduation degree and sentenced to one-year rigorous prison time.
District and Sessions Judge Mr Shahjehan Khan also imposed a penalty of Rs15,000 on Mr Kumar and suspended his assembly membership.
Soon after the statement of the judgment, Mr Kumar, who was elected on a seat reserved for minorities, was caught and taken to the district jail.
The court said that proof on record proved that the degree filed by the accused for contesting the election was fake.
