Cuttack: Chief Judicial Magistrate (CJM) Court in Cuttack on Monday sentenced gangster Sushant Dhal Samanta to five years in jail in connection with two different cases.
The court awarded three-year jail term to the gangster for allegedly possessing fire arms and two years imprisonment for illegal use of firearms. Besides, a fine amounting Rs 25,000 has also been slapped on him.
Sources said the cases were lodged at Bidanasi police station here.
Sushant had opened fire on a police officer at Bidanasi area in 1999. He is also involved in various criminal activities like tender fixing in Kendrapara.
