BAIL DENIED TO AJAZ KHAN | 9 July, 2021

The special Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances court on 6th July rejected the bail plea of actor Ajaz Khan in a drugs case. It observed that as a seller, he was dangerous to society and was exploiting boys and girls by giving them drugs. Ajaz had been arrested in March. The court added that at this preliminary stage, it can be held with certainty that he forged prescriptions in his wife’s name. It is alleged that 31 alprazolam tablets weighing 4.5 gm. were recovered from him. This qualifies as ‘small quantity’ of contraband under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act. The court also relied on the statement of an Ahmedabad-based doctor who denied writing the prescriptions.
