The convict, Nitin Kumar, was arrested by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) in 2016. The court also directed him to pay a fine of Rs 1 lakh.
As per reports, on November 21, 2016, the NCB had received secret information that a drug peddler was passing through Sector 43. The NCB laid traps and nabbed the convict.
