A court in Odisha’s Ganjam district has recently sentenced 3 ganja peddlers to 10 years of rigorous imprisonment in an NDPS case registered by the excise department around 1½ years ago.
Additional District Judge-cum-special Judge RK Das pronounced the judgment and also imposed a fine of Rs 1 lakh on the 3 convicts, identified as Dasarathi Gomango, Iras Sabar and Jaydeb Jena, all hailing from the Gajapati district.
Additional public prosecutor Bikram Kumar Kunda stated that they will undergo an additional 6 months of imprisonment if they fail to pay the fine amount.
He stated that the court gave the verdict after recording the statements of witnesses and verifying documents.
The trio got arrested by the excise department of Berhampur and around 100 kg of ganja was seized from their car on Balipada-Dengapadar Road on October 30, 2022.
Sources stated that a case under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act was registered and the trio was in judicial custody.
