Brij Bhushan, Akhil Bansal

Sentenced the son to 30 years in prison, while the case against the Agra doctor has stalled.
Akhil Bansal, Brij Bhushan's son, created and operated a network that smuggled 11 million prescription pills from India and distributed them to 60,000 Americans.
"You distributed poison throughout the country," the US judge pronouncing the sentence said on Friday.
All Brij Bhushan's neighbours in upscale Kamla Nagar locality remember is that until his sudden arrest by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB), post, telegraph and courier company vehicles would arrive every evening to pick up parcels from his palatial house.Akhil Bansal was studying for his MBA degree at Templeton University, US, while helping his father run the racket. He had purchased an expensive flat in Philadelphia, four cars and his offshore bank balance was around $6 million at the time of arrest.
Others arrested were Akhil's fiancée, Brij Bhushan's daughter, son-in-law and father-in-law, all of whom are in jail.
