On 20th November, the Bombay High Court, in its order, has said that there is "hardly any positive evidence" against Aryan Khan, Arbaaz Merchant, and Munmun Dhamecha. They were arrested in the drugs-on-cruise case.
"There is hardly any positive evidence on record to convince this Court that all the accused persons with common intention agreed to commit an unlawful act," the High Court said in its 14-page order while granting bail to three including Aryan Khan, Arbaaz Merchant, and Munmun Dhamecha.?
In a series of tweets, RGV bashed NCB and said if 'investigating agencies' are not held accountable for what they did, democracy would be reduced to a mere joke. He wrote:
According to the Bombay high court, It further explained that "merely because Aryan Khan, Arbaaz Merchant, and Munmun Dhamecha were travelling on the same cruise," that by itself cannot be termed as "satisfying foundation" for invoking provisions of Section 29 against them.?
The High Court granted all the three accused bail on October 28.The Court also noted that Khan did not own drugs while the other two had "small quantities" of drugs under the NDPS Act.?
"Aryan is concerned but for irrelevant Whats-App chats noticed in his mobile," the Court remarked.?
An NCB team busted an alleged drugs party on the Cordelia Cruise ship, which was going to Goa at mid-sea on October 2 night.?
All eight persons were later arrested on October 3 including, Aryan Khan, Arbaaz Merchant, and Munmun Dhamecha. A total of 20 people, including were arrested so far in connection with the case.
