JAMMU, Sept 29: Principal Sessions Judge Ramban, Haq Nawaz Zargar today awarded 10 years rigorous imprisonment and fine of Rs one lakh on Abid Ahmed Sofi, a narco smuggler.
On 20-10-2017, Ishfaq Ahmad head constable along with other police officials were deputed for Naka duty at Railway crossing T-Chowk Banihal and at 8.30 A.M, one car of Nissan make bearing No. PB09R/2705 came from Srinagar towards Jammu.

The driver was taking the poppy straw to Punjab. After completion of investigation a challan was presented in the court of law.
Principal Sessions Judge Ramban after hearing both the sides observed the consequences of narcotics on the health of the general public are disastrous and can cause even death. The danger of narcotics has engulfed not only the metropolitan cities but this far flung and hilly areas of our Country also stands badly influenced with this vice.

Use of drugs will definitely cause incalculable harm to the body and mind of the user.
The Principal Sessions Judge Ramban ordered that the convict is sentenced to undergo rigorous imprisonment for a period of 10 years and a fine of ? 1 lakh for an offence under section 8 read with section 15 (C) of the NDPS Act. In default of the payment of fine, the convict shall undergo simple imprisonment for a further period of one year.
