Khan’s bail plea has been denied bail twice, both by a Mumbai magistrate court and special anti-drugs court, ever since his arrest on October 3 in connection with the drugs-on-cruise case. Aryan is currently in Mumbai’s Arthur Road jail.
Recently, the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) has been questioning Ananya Panday over her and Aryan’s WhatsApp conversations discussing drugs.
On Thursday, a special NDPS court in Mumbai extended the judicial custody of Aryan Khan and seven others till October 30 in connection with the drugs case, following which Aryan’s legal team moved to the Bombay High Court.
On October 2, an NCB raid on the cruise ship Cordelia took place, docked at Mumbai’s International Cruise Terminal, to bust a rave party. The following day, the agency arrested Aryan, his friend Arbaaz Seth Merchant, Munmun Damecha.
Aryan was charged with alleged consumption and conspiracy under the stringent Narcotics Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act. Although no drugs were found on him, he has been accused of trafficking, on the basis of his WhatsApp chats.
