[Rhea Bail Hearing-LIVE UPDATES] Bombay HC Hearing On Bail Application Of Rhea Chakraborty And Others In NDPS Case

Sayed : Yes, at this age, young people may do things which they shoud not. At the most, this is a case of consumption. Where is the evidence of conspiracy? For cartel!

Sayed : May be, they have arrested people who may occassionally smoke the contraband articles. But by which stretch of imagination can the NCB argue that this is a syndicate, a cartel!

Sayed : They (NCB) are only playing with the sections. There is no specific allegations to show that I am part of big drug syndicate.

Sayed : 19 college students have been arrested and NCB is projecting as if a drug cartel has been busted.

Sayed : NCB is a premier investigation agency. They have better things to do than arrest people with few grams of charas or ganja.

Sayed : More people in our country die smoking cigarettes and chewing gutka (than consuming drugs). So let us leave aside all the moralistic arguments.

Sayed : In a given case of no recovery, and if my involvement cumulatively does not exceed small quantity, how can my statement be looked into unless there is a recovery of contraband. 

Sayed : Statement recorded by NCB under Section 67 can be used only to corroborate seizure.

Sayed : The mischief of NCB is that they do not mention whether it is small or commercial category.

Sayed : At the time of remand, there was no non-bailable offence. My client is a student of architecture who lost one year.
