Punjab Court Hands Down Decade‑Long Imprisonment for International Drug Ring Members

The special court in Jalandhar, Punjab, delivered a ten‑year rigorous imprisonment sentence to two accused, Akshinder Singh Sodhi and Amandeep Kumar, for their participation in an international narcotics trafficking conspiracy. The NCB’s investigation revealed that the 115‑gram cocaine haul, along with ephedrine, hashish oil and narcotic capsules seized in September 2019, was linked to a Canadian‑based syndicate that had recruited local operatives. The conviction marks a critical strike against the organized crime network that spanned continents.
