What Is Happening With Aryan Khan Is Unfair, Says Sushant Singh Rajput's Family Lawyer
Sushant Singh Rajput¡¯s family lawyer Vikas Singh had also represented his case when Rhea Chakraborty, her brother Showik and others were involved.
Aryan Khan's arrest in the drugs case has evoked several reactions. Apart from Shah Rukh Khan's fraternity members, including Hrithik Roshan, Salman Khan, Farah Khan, Raveena Tandon, fans too have come forward to extend support to the Khan family in this turbulent phase.
Sushant Singh Rajput's family lawyer Vikas Singh spoke to ETimes and said whatever is happening with Aryan Khan is 'not fair.'
Explaining how things have been wrong, Advocate Singh said,
¡°This entire law (NDPS ¨C 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."
Adding how the case has loopholes, he said,
"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 there is nothing found in his hair follicle until now. I don¡¯t think they have even tested that. What is happening to him is unfair.¡±
Sushant Singh Rajput¡¯s family lawyer Vikas Singh had also represented his case when Rhea Chakraborty, her brother Showik and others were involved.
The magistrate court on Friday rejected the interim bail plea filed by Aryan Khan and two others.
During the hearing, NCB opposed the grant of bail to Aryan Khan on grounds including that he is an influential person and may tamper with evidence.
The court said that the applications are not maintainable before it, the bail pleas of Aryan Khan, Arbaaz Merchant, and Munmun Dhamecha were rejected. Further, they will have to apply for bail before special NDPS court.
Lawyer Satish Maneshinde, who appeared on behalf of Aryan, opposed the ground.
¡°Merely because person belongs to an affluent family, it cannot be said that evidence will be tampered with. What influence have I used? I am suffering for 6-7 days. People roaming free with much serious offenses. I am not one of those,¡± he said.
