First things first, let's not try to create a cause and effect relationship between smoking marijuana and gang rapes just to give your disapproval an extra weight. Women get raped by men all over the world (with an extra layer of disturbed cases in India at least as per news channels) and drugs have nothing to do with it. Those "men" are degenerates who don't belong in a civilized society, period.
The cops might just be "doing their job" like usual but there is something totally broken in a system that spends so much time, money and resources arresting people (whether they're celebrities or common people) over possessing and smoking harmless amounts of marijuana.
I was following the covid news last year and people were dying in vain for literally no reason other than lack of oxygen cylinder, for instance. All the funds and resources the govt. uses up on these fools' errands would have been much more valuable to save lives instead.
So my opinion is that these arrests do not hurt anyone except the criminal justice system that is already dealing with a huge backlog of crimes that need genuine investigations and a broken system where people are dying over the bare minimum. Celebrities and their "reputation" might hurt for a couple of months, and it might be "fun" for some here to dish out moral outrages and engage in name calling, etc. until people move on to the next happening topic but it's still civilians like you who get the short end of the tail when govt. prioritizes these frivolous "arrests" that collectively outpace much more valuable issues that actually deserve to be looked into.
