"Ksitij Prasad was granted bail by the NDPS court on Tuesday. No drugs were found in his blood upon testing. There was no contact between Emeka and Kshitij and he had a falling out with Ali in May. The detailed order is awaited but as I always say truth wins," said Prasad's advocate Satish Maneshinde.
