New Delhi: Ness Wadia, son of industrialist Nusli Wadia and inheritor of one of India's wealthiest business families, has been sentenced for drugs possession while on a skiing holiday to Japan. "Ness Wadia is in India. Hence it won't impact Ness Wadia in the discharge of any of his responsibilities," 'ANI' quoted the Wadia group spokesperson as saying. A court official in Sapporo told the 'Financial Times' that Wadia admitted to possession, arguing that the drug was for his personal use. Shares of Wadia group companies dropped on Tuesday after the report.
