Summary
- Two opium smugglers were sentenced to 10 years rigorous imprisonment.
- Each convicted smuggler received a Rs 1 lakh fine.

A court in Fatehabad has handed down a 10-year rigorous imprisonment sentence to two individuals, Dharampal and Sonu, for their involvement in opium smuggling. The court also mandated a financial penalty of Rs 1 lakh for each convict, underscoring the severity of the offense.
The apprehension occurred on March 23, 2017, when police intercepted the suspects carrying 2 kg 600 g of opium near Basti village. The investigation revealed a conspiracy to traffic opium purchased from the Jodhpur region in Rajasthan, involving a supplier named Nanharam.
While Dharampal and Sonu have been convicted, two other accused, Rambir and Nanharam, have been declared proclaimed offenders by the court after they failed to appear following their release on bail. The case highlights ongoing efforts to combat drug trafficking in the region.
