Superstar
Shah
Rukh
Khan's
son
Aryan
Khan
and
seven
others
were
arrested
by
the
Narcotics
Control
Bureau
(NCB)
during
a
Mumbai
rave
party
raid
on
a
cruise
liner
on
October
3.
Since
then
all
eyes
have
been
on
this
ongoing
case
and
its
new
developments.
While
the
latest
development
surrounding
the
case
is
that
Aryan
Khan
will
be
kept
in
judicial
custody
for
the
next
14
days,
now
the
late
actor
Sushant
Singh
Rajput's
lawyer
Vikas
Singh
has
also
spoken
on
the
case.
The
lawyer
revealed
that
according
to
the
Narcotic
Drugs
and
Psychotropic
Substances
Act
1985,
there
is
no
offence
by
the
alleged
accused
if
nothing
is
recovered
from
him
or
her.
He
added
that
the
entire
legality
of
a
drug
case
is
based
on
what
is
recovered
from
the
accused.
Speaking
to
NDTV
about
the
same,
Vikas
Singh
said,
"The
entire
Narcotic
Drugs
and
Psychotropic
Substances
Act
is
based
on
recovery
(of
narcotic
drugs/
psychotropic
substance)...
if
there
is
no
recovery,
there
is
no
offence.
That
is
how
the
act
has
been
structured.
According
to
me,
whenever
you
arrest
somebody
with
recovery,
it
is
a
clear
violation
of
the
very
intent
for
which
this
act
has
been
enacted."
Vikas
Singh
also
revealed
to
The
Times
Of
India
stating,
"This
entire
law
(NDPS
-
Narcotic
Drugs
and
Psychotropic
Substances
Act)
is
possession-based
and
quantity
of
possession
becomes
the
sentence.
If
there
is
no
possession,
the
question
of
a
case
does
not
arise
unless
you
are
a
peddler
or
a
supplier,
which
is
the
fourth
category.
Aryan
was
neither
found
with
possession
nor
was
he
a
supplier.
He
is
at
best
a
consumer.
And
calling
him
a
consumer
is
also
debatable
because
till
now
there
is
nothing
found
in
his
hair
follicle.
I
don't
think
they
have
even
tested
that.
What
is
happening
to
him
is
unfair."
Furthermore,
he
also
stated
that
how
the
legality
of
the
case
existed
in
the
alleged
drug
case
involving
Sushant
Singh
Rajput's
former
girlfriend
and
actress
Rhea
Chakraborty
in
the
year
2020.
Meanwhile
talking
about
Aryan
Khan's
alleged
drug
case,
his
lawyer,
Advocate
Satish
Maneshinde
is
now
moving
the
court
for
interim
bail
of
the
star
kid.
The
hearing
on
the
same
was
reportedly
held
at
11
am
on
Friday,
October
8.
It
was
earlier
reported
that
the
NCB,
in
their
argument
stated
that
17
people
have
been
arrested
in
the
Mumbai
drug
party
case
so
far.
Achit
Kumar,
the
latest
person
to
be
arrested
in
the
ongoing
case,
was
taken
into
custody
based
on
Aryan
Khan's
statement.
Shah
Rukh
Khan's
son
Aryan
Khan's
lawyer
Satish
Maneshinde
also
argued
that
his
client
is
only
being
questioned
about
his
stay
abroad.
He
further
added
that
the
star
kid
has
no
connection
with
the
foreign
citizen
who
was
arrested
by
the
NCB
in
the
same
case.
Some
Bollywood
celebs
like
Pooja
Bhatt,
Somy
Ali,
Suchitra
Krishnamoorthi
and
Hrithik
Roshan
have
showcased
their
solidarity
with
Aryan
amidst
the
ongoing
case.
