Aryan Khan: Sections invoked in the case

The NCB has invoked four sections of the NDPS Act, which are as follows: Section 8(c) of the Act includes wide provisions for producing, manufacturing, possessing, selling-purchasing, transporting, using, consuming, import-export of any narcotic drug.

Section 20 (b) relates to the use of cannabis.
Section 27 entails to the consumption of any narcotic drug or psychotropic substance.
Section 35 entails to the presumption of the culpable mental state.

Although, these sections are bailable as told by Anil Singh. The court has to consider the purpose of the NDPS Act, which is to remove the drug menace from society. The NCB counsel said that the accused found are high profile people who are role models for regular people.

No drugs were found on #AryaanKhan. No witness to him buying, consuming or selling drugs.
Yet he is in jail on suspicion!

Farmers named the son of #AjayMishra ji in the #lakhimpur_farmer_massacre. Shri #ajaymishrateni had publicly threatened the Farmers.
Yet he is not in jail!
