(Judicial Quest News Network)

A letter petition has been moved before the Supreme Court by Shiv Sena leader Kishore Tiwari seeking Sou Moto intervention by the Supreme Court to ensure protection of fundamental rights of Aryan Khan, son of Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan, who is currently in jail in the cruise ship drug case.

Shive Sena Leader Kishore Tiwari in his letter petition urged the top courtto take sou moto cognizance to protect the fundamental rights of Aryan Khan

“I woul like to point lut towards the malafide styl. Approach and dirty vendetta affairs of NCBat Mumbaiand its officials targeting select film celebirity & few models since last two years and would like to request you to order to institute special judicial investigation & inquiry to unearth the role of NCB official.

In this regard the petitioner submitted that the concerned NCB officer’s wife is a well-known Marathi actress who has not been able to make it a big in Bollywood and the actions of NCB starting with the case of Sushant Singh Rajput’s suicide, is to settle personal vendetta.

Aryan Khan is currently lodged in Arthur Road Prison in central Mumbai in connection with the alleged seizure of drugs from a cruise ship. A special Court under the Narcotics Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act has posted the bail application of Aryan Khans, Arbaaz Merchant and Munmun Dhamecha to October 20.

Special Judge V.V.patil said that he would pronounce the order on October 20.

An NCB team led by Sameer Vankheda raided the Goa-bound cruise ship on October 2 evening based on a tip-off that a rave party was scheduled on the ship. The team allegedly seized 13 grams cocaine,5 grams of mephedrone, 21 Grams of charas and 22 pills of MDMA (ecstasy)and a sum of Rs. 1.33 lakhs in cash and later made the arrests. As many as 20 people were arrested under various sections of the NDPS Act.

The letter petition submits that this ongoing NCB operations seems out of a personal vendetta only in past 15-18 months, what (is the) motive for targeting  only top film personalities, their families, national international models, producers, directors. etc Starting from the Sushant Singh Rajput death matter.

Malefice, autocratic, style, approach & dirty vendetta affairs of NCB officer at Mumbai, targeting select film celebrity & few models since last two years is also a matter of big concern given a fact that officer’s wife at Mumbai is also a film celebrity having direct competition with the models & film celebrities against whom her husband NCB official is taking action under NDPS Act . In light of above, I would like to request your honour to institute special judicial investigation & enquiry to unearth role of NCB official whose wife is said to be instrumental in crafting cases against competitor film celebrity. The petition said.

The plea also highlighted how 3000 kg of drugs were recently seized from Mundra port in Gujarat and how the seizure in Aryan Khan case was “minuscule Joke” compared to that.

It is painful to note that its incredible that someone remains inside (jail) for so many days without seizure of drugs or any other proof. No medical report of consumption, so no consumption. I am very much surprised that how can Aryan be held in custody, when the max sentence would be one year, even assuming that he has taken drugs, but his fundamental rights guaranteed under Part III of our Constitution are to be protected till his conviction under NDPS Act.

According to the Maharashtra minister Nawab Malik, it’s high time that the NCB is probed by a Supreme Court Judge to unravel the truth.

I most respectfully pray to take suo moto cognizance on TOP PRIORITY to protect the fundamental Human Rights of Mr. Aryan Shahrukh Khan, an accused under the crime registered by Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB), Mumbai under Ministry of Home Affairs, Govt of India, New Delhi and also order judicial enquiry and investigation in to the malafide role & vendetta style of working of NCB officer whose wife is in competition with other film celebrity/ model against whom NDPS Act action taken by this biased NCB officer.
