A 47-year-old woman who worked as a Punjabi radio and TV host in Canada for the past 10 years has been sentenced to 5.5 years in prison after she was caught red-handed while smuggling meth from the US in 2021. The verdict was handed down recently after Sukhvinder Kaur Sangha pleaded guilty to importing drugs, estimated by the police to be of wother $1 million to $10 million. Her lawyer said she was forced to do the crime to pay someone who was threatening to kill or harm her then-teenage son if she didn't pay $150,000, Vancouver Sun reported.
Sangha's lawyer sought two years or less of house arrest plus three years' probation while the prosecutor was seeking 10 to 12 years in prison.
