A Dhaka court on Sunday sentenced businessman Amin Huda and one of his associates to 79 years in prison in two cases for manufacturing and selling banned club drug Yaba.
Judge Motaher Hossain of the Speedy Trial Tribunal-4 also fined the duo Tk 75.5 million.
Public Prosecutor SM Rafiqul Islam told that though the court sentenced them for a 79-year jail term, the accused would have to serve only 28 years in prison.
The court also directed law enforcers to destroy the confiscated drugs and raw materials, Islam added.
Rapid Action Battalion detained the duo on Oct 25, 2007 during a drive. The law enforcers had also seized around 5 kilograms of Yaba tablets, raw materials needed to manufacture the banned synthetic drug, chemicals and machineries and VOIP tools.
Two cases were filed against them the following day with Gulshan Police Station under the Narcotics Control and Special Power acts. RAB Sub-Inspector Jahidul Islam submitted three separate charge-sheets against the duo on Nov 27, 2007.
The court framed charges against the accused in the two cases on Jan 16 and 30 the following year. A total 38 people testified for the state and the court on Jul 1, 2012 rejected bail plea of the duo and sent them to jail.
