Accounts quoted AG Mukul Rohatgi, who was representing Khan threw light upon the fact that the detailed order will be provided tomorrow, thus, it is anticipated that they will come out of jail either by tomorrow or Saturday.
According to reports, ASG Anil Singh who is representing the NCB stated that Khan is not a consumer of drugs for the first time, but was in fact regularly in contact with drug peddlers. He added that Arbaaz Merchant, one of the accused, is Khan’s childhood friend. Thus, even if Khan didn’t have drugs on him, he was part of the conspiracy.
