Mumbai Drug Bust Case Highlights: Court Reserves Order On Bail Plea Of Aryan Khan & Others For Oct 20
Mumbai Drug Bust Case Live Updates: A special court will hear Aryan Khan's bail plea in connection with an alleged rave party case.
The Sessions Court will pronounce its order on Aryan Khan's bail plea on October 20, according to ANI.
"The international convention has said that drug trafficking and abuse has to be taken seriously because it is affecting nature and the world. I am glad my friends appreciated the role of NCB in Mumbai, but allegations are also made. A few days back 4-5 officers of mine were attacked. They are in a hospital for the past week," ASG Anil was quoted as saying by Bar and Bench.
The Congress leader shared a post for SRK's son on Twitter. He tweeted, "Aryan Khan is innocent. He is 23. Indian judicial system is based on the principle of reformation not political vendetta. Let this boy not become a pawn in Sanghi politics to defame SRK."
ASG Anil Singh referred to the case of Bollywood actress Rhea Chakraborty's brother Showik where the argument was that no recovery of contraband was found from him.
"The High Court held that even if there was no recovery, the accused were in touch with drug dealers, so bail cannot be granted," ASG was quoted as saying by Bar and Bench.
ASG told the court that Aryan Khan is a 'regular consumer of contraband' since the past few years, according to a report in Bar and Bench. He added that contraband, which was found in possession of Arbaz Seth, was for consumption of both Merchant and Aryan Khan.
The ASG apologised for coming late to the Sessions Court for the bail hearing of Aryan Khan and others. "I was arguing a matter in the High Court," Singh said as quoted as saying by Bar and Bench.
Additional Solicitor Anil Singh has arrived at the Sessions Court for the bail hearing of Aryan Khan. According to Bar and Bench, SPP Advait Sethna is also appearing with him.
Rhea Chakraborty, who remained in headlines after Sushant Singh Rajput's death, shared a cryptic message on social media amid the ongoing drug bust case involving Aryan Khan. "Grow through what you go through," her post read.
SRK's son Aryan Khan and five others have been shifted to Arthur Jail's common cell from quarantine barrack after their COVID-19 report came out as negative, superintendent of jail told ANI.
Background
A special court in Mumbai will hear the bail plea filed by Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan's son Aryan, in connection with an alleged rave party case. The Narcotics Control Bureau had arrested Aryan, Munmun Dhamecha, Arbaz Seth Merchant and others following a raid at a Goa-bound cruise on October 2. They were booked under relevant sections of the NDPS Act.
A Mumbai magistrate court had sent Aryan and others to judicial custody for 14 days. The court declined NCB's plea seeking extended custody of the accused.
The NCB on Wednesday (October 13) alleged that Aryan, along with others, was prima facie involved in "illicit drug trafficking, procuring and distribution of contraband" which is banned under the NDPS Act, according to a report in IANS.
The report in IANS further stated that the federal agency also accused the star kid of staying in touch with people, who could be a part of an international illegal drug syndicate.
