The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) on Thursday said applicant Aryan Khan is not a first-hand consumer but a regular consumer of drugs for the last two years.

ASG Anil Singh representing NCB told Bombay High Court that Aryan was aware that Arbaaz was in possession. “Charas was for smoking and it was for the consumption of both though it was with Arbaaz physically.”

Meanwhile, Khan is lodged at Mumbai’s Arthur Road Prison along with Merchant. Dhamecha, meanwhile, is at Byculla women’s prison.
