How is the charge sheet filed by NCB "a tabloid" ? Disregard mid-day. Fine. But the same charge sheet info has been reported by the likes of HindustanTimes, Deccan Chronicle and The Hindu. Are they tabloids as well? The charge sheet is inaccurate and the digital evidence such as WhatsApp chats with Ananya and the likes doesn't count. Aight, I'm ready to believe this if you point me in the direction of your source. If you're going to squash the charge sheet, at least come up with a valid reason/source why other than "ye toh tabloid hein hehe" because other major newspapers have reported the same.
Where is the charge sheet you mentioned? You're not quoting the charge sheet. You're quoting the tabloid which is quoting a supposed official who quotes the supposed charge sheet. Even the supposed serious media hasn't provided a copy of the charge sheet which they would have to if they were legit citing from it. Or at least state emphatically they have seen it and verified it as true. Basic journalistic ethics.
NCB's official document and their words in court say the complete opposite of what you claim. No drugs; no admission. These are the only truths available to the public about the case.
ETA. None of this is to say Aryan didn't smoke pot in California. Guess what? Indian government can't do anything about it. Just like they can't do anything about Sundar Pichai if he got himself a bleeding-raw steak and gorged on it. (*If* meaning hyperbole/speculation. Man might be vegan for all I know).
And for the cluck-clucking peeps who hope Aryan learns his lesson. Lemme see you say the same to the government which still runs bhang stores. Get bhang banned, I dare y'all. 😆 I mean, since you seem to think it's immoral.
Otherwise, you have no legal argument or moral argument even if Aryan did use pot in California. And NCB themselves admitted in court there was no evidence of drug use or possession in India. That document, unlike the tabloid items, was officially released by the agency. 😊
