If Aryan actually said he used drugs on Indian soil, NCB had no business letting him go. Because it is against the law in India.
This is a newspaper article where the journo claims an officer related what Aryan said. In other words, a 3rd party account without corroborating evidence.
Same as the time media claimed Aryan said he was going to make Wankhede Uncle proud. 😆
So yeah, from this *intellectual,* the response is a yawn. I've seen this drama before.
Let's look at what they wrote on the official documentation they needed to produce in court. No drugs. No admission to drugs.
If tomorrow I start a thread claiming you stated to BlueIce you took ganja in Los Angeles, will that also be considered gospel truth? Because that's exactly what this is. Another attempt to smear.
Edited to add: supposing Aryan smoked weed in California.
Marijuana is legal in many parts of the U.S., esp in California. NCB's jurisdiction ends on Indian borders. And it used to be legal in India before the government passed the NDPS under pressure from the Reagan administration. Even so, parts of plant were exempted to allow for bhang. There are *government-approved* stores in India which sell bhang.
So legal argument that Aryan did something wrong by smoking pot in LA is gone.
The so-called moral argument is also gone or the government should explain why bhang is still legal and blessed by successive administrations.
