NEW DELHI:

The conviction orders by different courts in cases of the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) across the country happened in the first two months of this year, with punishment ranging from one year to 15 years behind bars. In at least two different cases, five men were sentenced to 15 years. The cases were busted by the NCB between 2018 and 2024.

The cases include last year's case of a man from Jharkhand arrested on January 4, 2024, who was sentenced to 11 years' imprisonment on February 21 this year.
