The issue of narcotics and the law is once again under the scanner following the interrogation of former zonal director Narcotics Control Bureau Sameer Wankhede by the CBI for violating conduct rules by sharing conversations he had with actor Shah Rukh Khan regarding his son Aryan Khan’s arrest in the Cordelia cruise ship “drug bust” case. It has once again brought into focus the law and penalties against possession of narcotics.
In various judgments, the Court has reiterated that bail is the rule and jail is the exception. The accused must have his freedom in order to establish his innocence, it said.
Shah Rukh Khan's son Aryan Khan, who was granted bail in October in the Mumbai-Goa cruise drug case, has now moved to the Bombay High Court seeking modification of the bail conditions.
A special court in Mumbai on Thursday extended the judicial custody of actor Shah Rukh Khan's son Aryan Khan and seven others till October 30 in the Mumbai cruise ship drug case.
