The Narcotics Control Bureau has dropped #AryanKhan and five others from the chargesheet filed on Friday in the cruise raid case. The #NCB has cited &lsquo;lack of sufficient evidence&rsquo; and &rsquo;shortcomings in the initial investigation&rsquo; as reasons behind dropping the names of Aryan Khan and five others.
Now, is there any evidence at all against Aryan Khan that corroborates his connection with the international drugs mafia, as was claimed by the NCB last year? Or was it really a shoddy probe by the ex-NCB officer Sameer Wankhede.
"The NCB now says the allegation against Aryan Khan cannot be prove beyond reasonable doubt. Evidence beyond reasonable doubt is a measure for trial, and not for filing of chargesheet. What type of investigation uses a whatsapp chat to indicate a global criminal conspiracy? The NCB cannot take the role of a judge," says Nikam, in one of of the many scathing remarks against NCB during the chat with Tanvi Shukla.
In our new episode of #SIMPLIFIED, Tanvi Shukla speaks to Ujjwal Nikam, special public prosecutor, Maharashtra, to help viewers understand the real story behind the controversy.

"No one provided me with any financial assistance. If I had the necessary support, perhaps I would have become the Elon Musk of Kashmir,&rdquo; says Bilal Ahmad, a Mathematics teacher from Srinagar, Kashmir, who built a solar car from scratch. In 2009, the self-taught innovator embarked on a project to create a solar luxury car and completed the project this year.
Ahmad built the car over a period of 11 years, learning the building process from YouTube videos. He starts his day teaching Maths at a nearby coaching centre to students seeking to become future engineers. After over a month, he has become an internet sensation and his work has been noticed and appreciated by tech giants like Anand Mahindra.
Former Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir, Omar Abdullah, also tweeted about Ahmed's achievement saying, "It seems the car could one day also fly. The car has solar panels on the body and a charging point inside".
Ahmed&rsquo;s wish to manufacture a luxurious car, but affordable for commoners made him study cars made since the 50s. He was inspired by the work of an engineer and innovator from Detroit in the US who owned the automobile company DMC. Today when he takes his car out for a ride, people line up to take selfies with him and his car.
