In a drug case filed in Sirajdikhan upazila of Munshiganj, accused Apu Dikrosh (29) has been sentenced to five years of rigorous imprisonment, and the other accused, Mohammad Jewel (28), has been sentenced to three years of rigorous imprisonment. In addition, both have been fined Tk 10,000 each, with a further six months of simple imprisonment in default of payment.

The verdict was delivered by Chief Judicial Magistrate Gazi Delwar Hossain on Sunday at 1 PM. As the convicts were absent during the announcement of the verdict, the judge issued arrest warrants against them. The matter was confirmed by the court’s bench assistant, Md. Bulbul Ahmed.

Convict Apu Dikrosh is the son of Torun Dikrosh from Majidpur village in Sirajdikhan upazila. The other convict, Jewel, is the son of Shamsul Sheikh from Baro Shikarpur village in the same upazila.

According to court and case records, on December 19, 2016, during an anti-drug operation by Sirajdikhan police, Apu and Jewel were caught near Emdad's garage on the roadside of Syedpur Bazar at around 12:30 PM while allegedly trading Yaba tablets. They attempted to flee upon sensing the police presence but were apprehended.

At the time of arrest, police recovered 54 Yaba tablets from Apu Dikrosh and 46 Yaba tablets from Jewel. Sub-Inspector Saiful Islam of Sirajdikhan Police Station filed the case on the same day and sent the accused to court.

After nine years of legal proceedings and testimony from four witnesses, the court found both accused guilty and delivered the verdict.

State prosecutor Advocate Sultana Rozina Yasmin stated that under a section of the Narcotics Control Act, the court sentenced Apu to five years and Jewel to three years of rigorous imprisonment, along with a Tk 10,000 fine each, with an additional six months of simple imprisonment in case of non-payment. She expressed the state's satisfaction with the verdict.
