A court in Jammu and Kashmir's Udhampur district on Friday sent a man to 15 years imprisonment in a drug peddling case.
The court also imposed a fine of Rs 1.5 lakh on convict Harvinder Singh.
He was arrested by police in 2017 during which 3.9 kilograms of heroin and 2 kilograms of poppy was seized from his possession.
The court awarded the guilty sentence under the NDPS Act which is meant to prohibit the manufacture, production, trade and use of narcotics drugs and psychotropic substance except for scientific purposes.
“The convict was accused of being a habitual offender,” police had said in the FIR against him.
