Drug peddlers sentenced to 10 years in jail
Chandigarh, February 4 The two accused were arrested in 2008 by a team of the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB), which set up a naka near Burail. Their search yielded a packet of heroin weighing 3.5 kg. While Raju is a resident of Kajheri, Ompal hails from Uttar Pradesh. The scrutiny of the mobile phone of the accused had exposed a drug-peddling racket involving some police officials and bureaucrats. One of the accused was in touch with police officials who helped him in widening his drug peddling nexus. A report prepared by the NCB and sent to the senior officials of the UT police at that time had led to the suspension of certain police officers. However, they were let off in the police inquiry. The court found Raju and Ompal guilty of smuggling heroin and they were convicted.
