A British disc jockey was on Thursday sentenced by a special court in Goa to ten years' rigorous imprisonment for possession of synthetic drugs LSD and MDMA.

The special court handling narcotics, drugs and psychotropic substances (NDPS) cases found Allan Bainbridge, 49, guilty of possessing drugs which were seized from him during a raid by the Anti-Narcotics Cell of the Goa Police in 2014.

Bainbridge, a popular DJ at local clubs, was arrested from his home in Anjuna after he was found in possession of drugs valued at Rs.21 lakh.
