Aryan Khan, in Custody Since October 3, Denied Bail; Moves Bombay High Court
News 18A special Mumbai court on Wednesday rejected the bail application filed by Aryan Khan, son of Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, and two others in connection with the seizure of banned drugs onboard a cruise ship off the Mumbai coast. Special Judge V V Patil, designated to hear cases related to the Narcotics Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, rejected the bail pleas of Aryan Khan, his friend Arbaaz Merchant and fashion model Munmun Dhamecha. Senior Advocate Amit Desai, representing Aryan, said the NCB was pointing to international trafficking racket, but if the consumer states from where he procured drugs, then “the chain is complete”. On Aryan’s WhatsApp chats, Desai said today’s youth have different ways of expressing themselves which might be a “torture” for the older generation.
