In a significant milestone, a special court in Palampur has sentenced a drug offender to nine months in prison and a Rs 30,000 fine in an NDPS Act case. Sunil Katoch, alias Lucky, from Rit village in Jaisinghpur tehsil, Kangra district, was the culprit.

On March 4, 2021, Katoch was arrested during a vehicle inspection in Khaira. He was traveling in an Alto car with temporary registration number HP 2021-T/R-4983B. Police discovered he was carrying 130 gms of charas. The substance was seized immediately, and a case was registered.

Prosecutors concluded that Katoch was guilty after a thorough investigation and hearing both sides' arguments. The role of independent witnesses in validating the recovery was crucial to the success of the case.
