Three men sentenced to 11 years each in Bhopal’s District and Sessions Court for smuggling 10 kg of cannabis — just over 10 kg, actually, with packaging included. The haul was found in a white bag stashed under the seat of an Activa scooter. Police swooped in after a tip-off on October 17, 2023, near the Coach Factory area. Two suspects were seen standing by the roadside. The third was with the scooter. They tried to flee together but were caught mid-escape, aided by local witnesses. The accused: Salman Khan (Bhopal), Sonu Kumar, and Veer Kishore Sahni (both from Bihar). All three now face 11 years of rigorous imprisonment and a fine of Rs 1 lakh each. The case was prosecuted by special public prosecutor Manoj Tripathi. No mention of any prior criminal records or connections to larger networks. Just a single, clean bust, no drama, no celebrity links, no high-profile twist. Just a drug seizure, a courtroom verdict, and a quiet end to what might’ve been a bigger story if it hadn’t happened on an unpaved road behind a factory nobody remembers.
