Aryan Khan was taken in by the Narcotics Control Bureau on October 2 after he was caught in a drug raid on a cruise ship at the Mumbai Coast. Shah Rukh Khan’s son was taken into judicial custody the next day in a drug probe. Reportedly, psychotropic and banned drugs like hashish, cocaine, and MD were recovered from the party. Apart from Aryan, several others including Arbaaz Merchant, Munmun Dhamecha, Ismeet Singh, Mohak Jaswal, Gomit Chopra, Nupur Sarika, and Vikrant Chhokar were also taken into custody by the NCB. In a recent development of the case, Aryan Khan has been rejected bail yet again by the Special NDPS court in Mumbai after being rejected bail thrice before. Aryan had applied for bail earlier in the Mumbai court but since his applications were not maintainable he was rejected bail.
Aryan Khan was rejected bail the third time last Friday- October 8. He was then sent to the Arthur Jail Road along with the other accused. He had spent the weekend there as the court was shut over the weekend and Aryan lawyer, Satish Maneshinde had said an earlier statement that he wouldn’t do anything until Monday. But post that, on October 11, Aryan’s bail plea was applied in the Special NDPS court in Mumbai, but he was denied bail even there.
After the hearing, Aryan’s lawyer, Amit Desai told reporters outside the court that they now plan to move to the Bombay High Court and he also added, “We have not been told the grounds on which our bail plea was rejected.” The NCB is said to have submitted chats between Aryan and an upcoming Bollywood actress discussing drugs during the Mumbai cruise party.
