The court, presided over by Special Court (NDPS Act) Judge F Rohlupuia, also imposed a fine of Rs. 1 lakh on the convict, Bawinungchung.
The state excise and narcotics department spokesperson, Peter Zohmingthanga, confirmed the court’s decision.

During the trial, he admitted that the smuggled heroin was meant for sale in Mizoram.
