After nine months of arrest in connection with a drugs case, a special court on Monday granted bail to son-in-law of state cabinet minister Nawab Malik. The court also granted bail to co-accused Rahila Furniturewala and Karan Sejnani.
Sameer Khan was arrested on January 9 by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) following the arrest of Sejnani, from whom the central agency claimed that a commercial quantity of contraband was recovered.
Khan had sought bail in February, but it was rejected by the special court since the probe was still on. In July, the NCB filed a chargesheet after which Khan and others filed for bail again.
The NCB had said that the accused conspired to procure, sell, purchase and transport 194.6 kg of ganja and six CBD sprays. Chemical analysis reports annexed to the chargesheet state that of the 18 samples sent for forensic probe, eight were negative.
The NCB claimed that the reports showed the presence of over 85 kg of cannabis.
