DJ Aqeel back in Mumbai

Dubai: Celebrity disc jockey Aqeel who was discharged in a case of drug possession, has arrived in Mumbai, his lawyer Ashish Mehta said.
“Aqeel was honourably discharged by the prosecutor (the Indian equivalent of Magistrate) as there was no sustainable evidence against him,” Mehta said over the phone.
The local magistrate here discharged Aqeel after his lawyer argued that the contraband recovered from his bag was “planted”.
On June 3, Aqueel was allegedly caught with 0.06 grams of banned drug ecstasy tablets in his bag at the international airport here. He was visiting Dubai to take part in a radio programme.
However, tests conducted by the police had found no traces of ecstasy in his blood and urine samples. His wife Farah Khan had earlier claimed that he does not consume drugs and “somebody must have planted” the contraband in his bag.
