A 43-year-old man is also sentenced to three months in prison as he aided and abetted the smugglers by providing transportation with his bolero truck from the road point in Lemdho in Mitshig_Shana under Tsento Gewog.

Meanwhile, a 47-year-old man from Tsento was charged with a double offence, which is Soliciting and Abetting, and Aiding. He has to pay 21,875 in lieu of prison term, equivalent to six months in prison. He already served five days in prison.

They were arrested in November last year with thousands of sex toys and other smuggled goods from China. The seized goods were en-route to India through an illegal route.
