Relief for Fardeen Khan in drug case

Film actor Fardeen Khan has been given immunity and acquitted under section 64A of the NDPS Act. The actor’s application has been accepted by the court on the condition of undergoing a detoxification process, which he has already completed. Fardeen was arrested in Mumbai in 2001 by The Narcotics Control Bureau. Last year, Fardeen Khan had pleaded not guilty to the charge of attempting to buy cocaine in a 10-year-old case in which a special court framed charges against him and two others.

This news comes at a time when Fardeen lost his sister in a car crash. Fardeen Khan's sister Sonia Sethia died in a car crash in South Delhi early Monday. Sonia, 48, wife of businessman Rajendra Sethia, was returning from Gulmohar Park from her friend's residence after having dinner when a speeding Swift Dzire car rammed into Sonia's Honda City at August Kranti Veer Marg.

Mohan Kumar, 50, who was driving Dzire, a technical officer at All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) and Sonia were rushed to AIIMS after the accident. Both of them were declared dead at 1:30 am.

Fardeen attended Sonia's funeral rites.
