The next hearing on Armaan’s bail application is slated to be held on October 13. The actor has been locked up in Arthur Road jail for over nearly two months, as he was arrested by NCB in August for possession and consumption of drugs.
The NCB has maintained that Armaan is facing serious charges, and that apart from just consumption, there are several other charges levelled against him, too. The NCB has started a zero-tolerance campaign against drugs and has been conducting several raids to clean up the city against the menace.
Armaan is the son of celebrated director Rajkumar Kohli and was last seen in Salman Khan’s ‘Prem Ratan Dhan Paayo’.
Armaan Kohli’s case was cited in the bail hearing today with regards to Aryan Khan and other accused in the drugs case. The Additional Solicitor General (ASG) while arguing on behalf of the NCB, used Armaan Kohli’s case and its bail rejection grounds to make a case stating that Aryan’s bail application not be considered. The ASG said, “This supports what your honour has held in Armaan Kohli’s judgment.” He added, “Armaan Kohli’s bail application was refused on the ground that he is arrested in a case with other accused who have larger quantities even though he does not have.”
