According to Arbaaz and Munmun’s lawyers, the remand application does not make any mention of how much was found on the accused 1, 2, or 3. Therefore, it is vague and I have a right to a bail hearing.” the lawyer said. Among the charges against him are sections 27 of the NDPS (punishment for consumption of narcotic drugs or psychotropic substances) and 8C (produce, manufacture, possess, sell, or purchase of drugs).
