The high court also observed that “these people (celebrities) projected themselves as some kind of messiahs without verifying if the drugs were spurious or if the supply was legal”.
The Bombay High Court on Wednesday directed the Maharashtra government to scrutinise the role that local Congress MLA Zeeshan Siddique and actor Sonu Sood played in procurement and supply of anti- drugs to citizens, following their SOS calls and appeals on social media. The high court also observed that “these people (celebrities) projected themselves as some kind of messiahs without verifying if the drugs were spurious or if the supply was legal”. A Bench of Justices S. P. Deshmukh and G. S. Kulkarni issued the direction to the Maharashtra government after State Advocate General Ashutosh Kumbhakoni told the HC that it had registered a criminal case at the Mazgaon metropolitan court against a charitable trust, BDR Foundation, and its trustees for supplying anti- drug Remdesivir to Mr. Siddique even though the trust did not have requisite licence.More Related News
