Khurram sentenced to 9 years for drug smuggling

Drug smuggling continues to be a serious issue in Pakistan, with recent developments shedding light on the consequences faced by those involved in such illegal activities. In a significant ruling, a District and Sessions Court in Rawalpindi has sentenced an accused individual named Khurram to nine years in prison for his involvement in a drug smuggling case.

The case against Khurram stemmed from his possession of 3,410 grams of hashish, leading to his arrest by the Sadiq Abad police in 2023. Following a thorough legal process that involved the examination of witnesses and arguments presented by both the defense and prosecution counsels, the judge presiding over the case also imposed a fine of Rs 80,000 on the convicted individual.

This verdict serves as a stern reminder of the strict consequences awaiting those who engage in drug-related crimes. It underscores the commitment of law enforcement agencies and the judiciary to combat the illicit drug trade and uphold the rule of law in the country.
