While Aryan’s legal team have maintained that the NCB did not find any drugs in the star kids possession nor could they prove that he consumed any, the ASG, in his argument on Thursday said, ” Our case is not of consumption but of possession.”

In his argument, he said, “Aryan Khan is not a first-time consumer of drugs, he was in contact with drug peddlers.”

Addressing the ‘small quantity’ of drugs found in Arbaaz Merchant’s possession, Singh argued, “We have argued about conscious possession. If two people are together and one person knows about the possession and use of drugs of the second person, then the first person is in conscious possession. They are (Aryan and Arbaaz) are childhood friends. They travelled together and were going to be staying in the same room. They are arguing that we have not tested to find out about consumption. We are only arguing about possession.”

“Aryan Khan was in conscious possession of drugs. This case is about conscious possession and planning to consume. Scheme of NDPS act. Section 29 does not say that the person has to be in possession,” he said.

Singh further went on to state that the argument over ‘personal consumption didn’t come into play as the quantity obtained was of ‘commercial quantity’.

“The total drug quantity of ecstasy is commercial quantity. There were a variety of drugs and the cruise was two days. So it cannot be that this is personal consumption. Because of the quantity and multiple drugs. This is why we have applied S 28, 29. It cannot be a coincidence that so many people on the cruise, eight were found with drugs and there were multiple varieties,” the ASG argued.
