Indian Courts Convict Individuals in Separate Heroin Trafficking Cases

Two separate courts in India have convicted individuals in heroin-related cases under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act. In Mohali, three men were sentenced to two years of rigorous imprisonment and fined for carrying 300 grams of heroin in 2018. In Delhi, Mohit Kumar was convicted for procuring and distributing commercial quantities of heroin, with the court rejecting defense claims of procedural lapses and confirming evidence through witness testimonies and forensic reports. Sentencing arguments are pending in the Delhi case.
