In a significant drug trafficking conviction, the Additional Sessions Judge of the Special NDPS Court in Biloli, Nanded, Maharashtra, handed down a 10-year jail term and a Rs 1 lakh fine to Gokul Narayan Rajput and Sunil Yadav Mahajan. This verdict came after the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) seized 1,127 kg of ganja on November 15, 2021, near Manjram village in Nanded district. The truck carrying the contraband was intercepted during a routine check near Naigaon Taluka.

Prosecutors argued that both individuals were knowingly in possession of the large quantity of ganja and could not provide a satisfactory explanation for their actions. The court found the prosecution's evidence convincing under the relevant sections of the NDPS Act and convicted the duo accordingly.
The court ordered the confiscation of the seized truck and other items, following the necessary legal procedures. Rajput and Mahajan were each sentenced to 10 years of rigorous imprisonment, with an additional six months added for failing to pay the fine.
