Introduction: The drug case involving Aryan Khan, son of Shah Rukh Khan, took a new turn when an intervention application was filed by advocate Ishwarlal Agarwal in the High Court.
The application raises concerns about the involvement of CBI and NCB officials in alleged bribery cases. This blog explores the recent developments in the case and the demands made in the intervention application.
Aryan Khan and NCB Officials Involved in Bribery Case: The intervention application highlights the alleged involvement of CBI and NCB officials in accepting a bribe of INR 50 lakh to protect Aryan Khan from drug-related charges. Adv. Nilesh Ojha said that the application questions why Aryan Khan, his secretary Pooja Dadlani, and others were not named as accused since the person offering a bribe is also considered an offender under the law. The officials of NCB who had not made Shah Rukh Khan as an accused are also guilty of negligence of duty.
Adv. Ishwarlal Agarwal is being represented by Adv. Nilesh Ojha, Adv. Tanveer Nizam, Adv. Mariam Nizam, Adv. Anand Jondhle, Adv. Vijay Kurle, Adv. Dipali Ojha,Adv. Pratik Jain Saklecha, Adv. Abhishek Mishra, Adv. Pooja Shah, Adv. Snehal Surve, Adv. Hania Sheikh, Adv. Saurabh Khanna, Adv. Vikas Pawar, and others
High Court Demands Answers: The High Court has directed CBI to respond to the intervention application by July 5th. The hearing on this matter is scheduled for 2:30 PM on the same day. The court expects CBI and NCB to provide clarifications on key points mentioned in the application.
Lack of Investigation into Other Individuals: The intervention application raises concerns about why investigations were not conducted into the drug-related activities of individuals such as Navya Nanda (Amitabh Bachchan’s granddaughter), Ananya Panday (Chunky Panday’s daughter), and others. The demand is made to initiate inquiries against them and proper legal action by CBI and NCB.
Demand for Filing FIR against Guilty Officers: The application seeks the court’s order to register a case under various sections of the IPC (Indian Penal Code), including sections 191, 192, 193, 199, 200, 201, 218, 471, 474, 409, 120(B), and 34, against the guilty officers involved in misuse of public machinery and their authority to save accused. It emphasizes the need for a proper investigation into their actions and to hold them accountable.
Actions Against Accused Individuals: The intervention application requests instructions for taking appropriate actions against accused individuals, including Navya Nanda, Aryan Khan, and others involved in the case. The application emphasizes the necessity of treating all individuals equally under the law.
Previous Actions by CBI and NCB in arresting their own officials: It is worth noting that CBI has previously arrested its own officials in cases related to Anil Deshmukh and others. Recently, an ED officer, Sachin Sawant, was also arrested. Similar action is expected here.
Possibility of Shah Rukh Khan’s Arrest: With the recent developments, there is speculation about the potential arrest of Shah Rukh Khan in connection with the case. The intervention application adds to the complexities surrounding the ongoing investigation.
Conclusion: The intervention application filed by Adv. Ishwarlal Agarwal in the Samir Wankhede case has brought new dimensions to the controversy. It highlights the need for a fair investigation into the alleged bribery and drug-related activities involving high-profile individuals. The upcoming hearing on July 5th will shed light on how the case progresses and whether the demands made in the application will be addressed. Stay tuned for further updates on this evolving legal matter.
