The sentencing hearing for self-employed businessman Imran Khan is set to commence today following his recent conviction for methamphetamine possession.

Mr Khan appeared before Magistrate Yogesh Prasad yesterday for the hearing, but the court gave both the prosecution and defence additional time to compile and finalise their respective sentencing submissions.

The charges stem from a February 7, 2023, incident where police discovered more than four grams of methamphetamine hidden inside a modified water bottle in Mr Khan’s vehicle.

Mr Khan, who is further remanded in custody, is now represented by Shayal Kant of Crown Law.
