drug charges

India’s anti-drug agency has dropped charges against Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan’s son in a drugs case. Aryan Khan, 24, was arrested in October 2021 for allegedly doing recreational drugs at a party. The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) had charged him under laws “related to possession, consumption and sale of illegal substances.” On Friday, the NCB cleared him in the case, saying “no drugs had been found on Aryan Khan”. A charge sheet filed in court by the agency on Friday named 14 accused in the case but left out six others, including Aryan Khan, “due to lack of evidence.” Officials from NCB had on 2 October 2021 raided a cruise ship, saying they had been tipped off that there were drugs on board. Aryan Khan had been searched and interrogated before he boarded the ship – and eventually taken into custody by the NCB. Khan was one of several people arrested in the case and spent nearly three weeks in jail. He was later released on bail.(BBC)…[+]
