Mahabir Singh, a drug smuggler in Amritsar, has been sentenced to four years of rigorous imprisonment and a fine of Rs 20,000 by a Special Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) Court in Jalandhar. The court found him guilty of committing the offence of money laundering. The immovable properties of Singh were earlier attached and have been confiscated under Section 8(5) of the PMLA. The ED initiated the PMLA investigation against him in 2009 based on an FIR registered at the Sada police station, Amritsar, under various sections of the NDPS Act and the Arms Act. Investigation conducted by the ED revealed that the proceeds of crime generated from drug trade were invested by the accused in the attached properties. After investigation, the ED filed a prosecution complaint under the provisions of PMLA in 2017. Singh was earlier convicted under the NDPS Act and was held guilty for possessing 15 kg of heroin. The court found the accused guilty and awarded him a jail term.
