Aryan Khan Case: Mumbai Police summons Ananya Panday’s uncle Chikki Panday

In a new twist to the Aryan Khan case, the Mumbai police have summoned Ananya Panday’s uncle Chikki Panday. It can be recalled that earlier, Chunky Panday’s daughter Ananya Panday has been questioned by the NCB. Ananya has been quizzed by the Narcotics Control Bureau thrice for her WhatsApp chats with Aryan Khan. Now Chunky Panday’s brother Chikki Panday has been summoned to record his statement.

As per India Today report, Chikki Panday’s name emerged while recording statements of Ranjitsingh Bindra and Mayur Ghule for helping Gosavi. It is believed that Ranjitsingh got in touch with actor Chunky Pandey’s brother Chikki Pandey to contact Pooja Dadlani.

NCB witness KP Gosavi mentioned reaching out to Chikki Panday to contact Shah Rukh Khan’s manager Pooja Dadlani. Gosavi reportedly stated that he and Sam met a restaurateur in Mumbai who knew Chikki, who later gave them Pooja and her husband’s contact details. Chikki is called to ask about the details of his communication with KP Gosavi and Sam D’Souza.

However, Chikki Panday has informed that he won’t be able to join the probe as he has tested positive for COVID-19.

Meanwhile, SRK’s manager Pooja Dadlani had also been summoned by the Mumbai Police’s SIT team. But she has skipped the probe citing health issues for now.

Aryan Khan was detained by the Narcotics Control Bureau after a raid was conducted on a Goa bound cruise on October 2. He was later sent into judicial custody. After spending almost 3 weeks in jail, the youngster was released from Arthur Road jail after the Bombay High Court granted him bail. Now, the case has been transferred to The Special Investigation Team (SIT).
