Indira Gandhi’s Assassin’s Nephew Sentenced in New Zealand

Amritsar  : The nephew of one of Indira Gandhi’s assassins has been sentenced to 22 years in prison in New Zealand. The individual was convicted for possessing a significant quantity of methamphetamine, a highly addictive drug. Authorities had arrested him a year ago following an extensive investigation into drug trafficking activities.
Law enforcement agencies in New Zealand had been tracking his movements for months before his arrest. During the raid, they seized a substantial amount of methamphetamine, along with evidence linking him to an international drug network. Prosecutors emphasized the severity of the crime, stating that drug-related offenses have devastating effects on society.
The case gained global attention due to his family’s historical connection. His uncle was involved in the assassination of former Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi in 1984, an event that led to massive unrest in India. However, authorities in New Zealand clarified that his criminal activities were unrelated to his family’s past.
The sentencing judge stressed the importance of deterring drug crimes and highlighted the harsh penalties for such offenses in New Zealand. Officials also indicated that the convict may face deportation after serving his sentence.

This case has sparked discussions about criminal networks and the enforcement of strict drug laws worldwide. Experts believe that the ruling sends a strong message against illegal drug operations.
