From the India Today archives (2022) | Lessons from the Aryan Khan drugs case

India Today  

If there was a turning point in the Aryan Khan case, it came on November 12 last year, on his 24th birthday. “The Wankhede saga,” he says, “was overtaking the Aryan Khan one and, in both cases, the NCB’s reputation was at stake. Singh says, “It is strange that in spite of a clear-cut denial by Arbaaz regarding the involvement of Aryan in the procurement and possession of drugs, the investigating officer started looking at the WhatsApp chats of Aryan without even formally seizing the mobile phone, as is the procedure.” The SIT says Wankhede and his team went about summoning those named in the chats for questioning, when these chats actually have no evidentiary value in courts unless they can be corroborated with primary evidence. “People now have a more fundamental understanding of human rights too, it simply does not make sense to penalise something that is just unhealthy behaviour.” NCB’s Pradhan, however, is concerned that a blanket decriminalisation of drugs would open the floodgates for drug consumption among youth without inhibition. “The current NDPS Act has a provision for diverting those found guilty of consuming illicit drugs to seek treatment, but it’s allowed only once,” she says.
