Shashi Dhar Sahnan

Accused of being involved in the importation of heroin

Sahnan is accused of being involved in the importation of controlled Class A drugs, heroin, into the United Kingdom. The huge quantity of drugs, which were concealed in packaging surrounding air conditioning units, was seized by HM Revenue and Customs during a joint operation with Leicestershire police in July 2007. Customs officers found the drugs hidden in the struts of pallets upon which the machinery was being transported.
