Third Additional Metropolitan Sessions Judge Md Robiul Alam passed the verdict in the presence of the suspects on Wednesday.

The convicts are Md Mukhtar Hossain of Narayanganj's Rupganj, Md Mizanur Rahman Babu of Chattogram's Anwara, Md Sohel Ahmed of Bagerhat's Mollarhat and Md Joni of Dhaka's Demra. According to the case dossier, police detained a covered-van in front of a CNG filling station in Jatrabari's Kajla on Oct 17, 2016. The law enforcers subsequently found 600,000 pieces of the methamphetamine-based drug with a market value of Tk 180 million.
