In a significant legal development in Hyderabad, Aman Preet Singh, who is the brother of a popular actress, has approached the Telangana High Court seeking to quash a First Information Report (FIR) registered against him in a drug peddling and consumption case. The FIR was filed at the Masab Tank police station.
The Case Details and Police Action
The case against Singh and others was registered in December 2025 under various sections of the stringent Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act and the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). This action followed the seizure of synthetic drugs from Singh's associates. The confiscated substances included cocaine in capsule form and MDMA in crystalline powder form.
While Aman Preet Singh has not been arrested so far, the police records have listed him as absconding in connection with this investigation.
Legal Proceedings in the High Court
The petition came up for hearing before Justice Tirumala Devi Eada on Tuesday. The judge, after taking up the plea, directed the concerned authorities to get instructions and prepare their response in the matter. The court then adjourned the case for further hearing.
Through his writ petition, Singh has urged the court to call for all records related to the case and to quash the ensuing criminal proceedings. His legal counsel argued before the court that the continuation of these criminal proceedings is legally unsustainable.
Implications and Next Steps
This move to the high court marks a crucial turn in the case, shifting the legal battle to a higher judicial forum. The court's directive for the authorities to respond indicates that the matter will be examined in detail. The outcome of this petition could have substantial implications for the ongoing police investigation and the charges against the accused.
The case has drawn considerable attention due to the alleged involvement of a family member linked to a prominent figure in the entertainment industry. All eyes are now on the Telangana High Court as it prepares to deliberate on the legal merits of quashing the FIR in this high-profile Hyderabad drug case.
