'Even if Aryan Khan used narcotics, the NDPS Act grants immunity,' said Supreme Court attorney Khushbu Jain.

The NCB detained Shah Rukh Khan's son Aryan Khan during a drug bust on a cruise liner in Mumbai, which was an awful turn of events. Now, Supreme Court counsel Khusbhu Jain has allegedly argued that police should focus more on individuals who are genuinely culpable for drug trafficking, ahead of the star kid's bail application hearing.

During an interview with a major news organization, the lawyer detailed how the case has progressed to a critical stage. As new advances in the 'illicit trade of narcotics' emerge every day, Khushbu suggests that authorities focus more on people who are genuinely responsible for sourcing and distributing drugs. It is critical, she believes, for the Narcotics Control Agency to succeed in disrupting the drug mafia's supply chain.

She said, “Aryan Khan’s case is sub-judice and every day some new developments are happening, which are throwing light on new nodes and people directly or indirectly involved in the chain of illicit trade of drugs. It is the need of the hour that the agencies shift focus to target the cartels involved in sourcing drugs. It is of paramount importance that supply lines are curbed by arresting and prosecuting the financiers and exporters.” "Aryan Khan's case is still under investigation, and fresh developments are emerging every day that shed light on new nodes and people who are directly or indirectly involved in the unlawful drug trade chain," she said. It is imperative that the agencies shift their focus to the cartels involved in drug sourcing. It is critical that supply routes be disrupted by arresting and prosecuting financiers and exporters."

Sanjay Dutt's lawyer, Rizwan Merchant, had previously called on NBC to cease playing dirty games. "These dishonest techniques defame the reputation of a top, a central government institution that was primarily created to tackle drug traffickers and drug peddlers," he said.

Aryan Khan has been placed in judicial detention, according to the most recent developments. After a narcotics bust on the Cordelia Cruise off the Mumbai coast, Shah Rukh Khan's son was arrested along with seven others, including Arbaaz Merchant and Munmun Dhamecha. The star-kid was initially remanded in NCB custody, but the honorable court later ordered him to be placed in judicial custody. His bail hearing will be rescheduled for tomorrow, Thursday, October 14. Following that, it will be determined whether Aryan will be freed on bail or will be kept in judicial custody.
