Bollywood : Fardeen khan in soup for buying dope
Actor Fardeen Khan’s appeal of reduction of charges for the possession of Cocaine was turned down by a special court in Mumbai on Monday. To recapitulate, the Bollywood hunk was caught buying cocaine from a peddler named Naseer Abdul Kareem Khan in May 2001 by the Narcotics Control Bureau.
Though Fardeen has stated in his petition that he was buying just one gram of cocaine when he was arrested the police chargesheet shows the recovered cocaine weighed nine grams. Fardeen’s lawyer Ayaz Khan pleaded that the chargesheet ought to show one gram of cocaine in possession of Fardeen and Fardeen Khan was hopeful about the court accepting his version of events.
According to media reports, “Possession of one gram of narcotics attracts six months jail term while possession of two grams of a drug or quantity above that provides for ten years rigorous imprisonment under Narcotics Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act. In the current situation Fardeen will face a trial for a non-commercial quantity of drug, which attracts a maximum of ten years in jail and Rs one lakh fine.â€ÂÂ
This event most certainly comes across as a setback for Fardeen Khan as his career was flourishing with flicks like ‘No Entry’ and ‘Pyare Mohan’ and the actor was enjoying conjugal bliss. Hope everything works out well for Fardeen!

So you want court to let this Khan go because he is Khan and bollywood celebrity? They should punish this people more than they do for an ordinary citizen. Look at Sanjay and Salman, criminals portrayed as big acheivers by the media. Is the media even willing to harm our country just for more circulation. I see ethics missing with most of the Indian media minus the good newspaper “The Hindu”. Yes, it’s THEEE HINDUUUUU!
