Actor Fardeen Khan Held Guilty of Trying to Buy Drugs

Daijiworld Media Network

Mumbai, Oct 4: Bollywood actor Fardeen Khan has been found guilty of trying to buy cocaine back in 2001, as per the ruling of a Mumbai court here on Tuesday October 4.

The sentence will be pronounced on November 2 by a sessions judge.

The special court framed charges against Fardeen under the provisions of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act which carry a maximum punishment of six months and fine up to Rs 10,000 or both. 

The court, however, ruled out charges that he had possessed more than two grams of cocaine.

"I have been charged only with attempting to buy cocaine. Charges pertaining to possession of cocaine have been dropped," Fardeen told reporters outside the court.

The actor added that he was happy with the verdict as he had appealed in the court against charges of possessing drugs.

"This is something we have been appealing to the court for the last 10 years. I am extremely happy about how things are going," he said.

Fardeen was arrested by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) on May 5, 2001 for possessing cocaine and was charged under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act. Two others, Nasir Shaikh and Tony Gomes were also arrested for allegedly selling the drugs.

The NCB had earlier claimed that Fardeen and Nasir had possessed nine grams of drugs. The actor refuted the charge and said that he had tried to buy only one gram of cocaine.

On Tuesday, the court charged Nasir and Tony under provisions that may invite imprisonment between one and 10 years and a fine of up to Rs one lac.

According to the NDPS Act, less than two grams is considered a small quantity. An accused can face up to six months in prison for possessing a small quantity of the drug.

Fardeen, the actor-son of the late Feroz Khan, took to acting in 1998 with "Prem Agan" for which he won the Filmfare best debutant award. Since then, he has starred in over 20 films including "Pyaar Tune Kya Kiya", "Jungle", "No Entry", "Love Ke Liye Kuch Bhi Karega" and others.

    Mr.Ahmed, Mangalore / Doha/Bunaz, Mangalore/Jawwad, Mangalore...I much aware what's 'Haram'..I purposely told..so that you people can understand it clearly. If you know it's 'haram' why you people are giving so much importance to it in islamic countries??..

    Don't ever tell it's used by only actors..more of your community people are consuming it in larger count.. In other religion it's not mentioned anywhere it's haram.. you can utilise it..but to certain extent only.. still consumption in other community are less..than you people..

    Everything is written good in your Holy Book but all follows different according to there wishes.. right... .More of funds followed from overseas all over for poor people for constructing masjids/madrasas are from same money..why not you oppose it on that time?..

    Even in cigaratte..mix of content is from 'pigs fatty'..do you aware of it??? bolne ka kuch.. karna doosara. Some of islamic countries depend upon nothing but on 'drug' money?? Even though strict punishment imposed on drugs..things never changed??why so??

    My dear friend Mr. Harsh Malhotra, Mangalore/New Delhi

    In Islam as you said, liquor, drugs are banned. So is terrorism. 1st of all, actors even though they are muslims, they do not follow Islam. Same applies to terrorist. They may or may not be muslims (few people under muslim names spread terrorism) but they do not follow Islam.
    So my friend, broaden your mind and please start using it atleast before commenting on Islam.

    By the way, who is Nagesh Nayak? Is he a celebrity or the modern day Rampanna. Why is everybody attacking him? Every Article, there is a comment and attack on him and by him. Nobody comments on the article but on Nagesh mamu, why so? Sorry Nagesh Nayak - just keen to know why there should be a personal spat on an individual?

    My dear Nagesh Nayak,

    Rahul Mahajan was just another rich, spoilt, brat, with lots of black money to spend, gifted to him by his father. So he spent money on cocaine and alcohol and then happily was beating ex-wife when drunk and high. Everyone knows this, except maybe you (because you are a one-eyed cow, who only knows to go in one direction).

    On the other hand, Your Italian aunty and your half-cousin Rahul (just like you, he also has some upper-caste brahmin connection but on his father's side), if they are guilty of whatever charges, the law will take its own course and catch up to them. You are just brainwashed like all those other BJP propogandists, simply barking with your tail down between your legs, at Indo-Italian family without any proof :-)

    Cheers, and have a chilled KF.

    Fardeen Khan, how could you be role model to your fans at least? if it above or below two grammes that does not make difference.Anyway you got guilty verdict and indeed you are guilty. Young people like you, if resort for banned substances that means you are endorsing bad element in the society and hence need to go jail...However, taking such a long journey by court to pronounce you guilty is puzzled me a lot...
