Legal trouble for Aryan Khan? Sale, not consumption, leads to higher offence, says expert

A senior advocate, who spoke to India Today TV, said people arrested for only consumption of drugs get off lightly but higher punishment is given to people involved in sales and purchases.

After the arrest of Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan's son Aryan Khan, all eyes are once again on the issue of drug trafficking and consumption among the celebrities and youth of the country.

The NDPS Act is a strict law, with provisions that completely ban the growing, manufacture, possession, storage, sale, consumption or transportation of drugs and psychotropic substances.
