After spending 3 weeks in jail, Aryan Khan, son of Shah Rukh Khan, has finally got bail in a drugs case. The 23-year-old has been in custody since October 3, hours after raids on a cruise ship party by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB).
Aryan Khan, who has been in Mumbai’s Arthur Road jail since October 8, had been denied bail twice before.
During the bail hearing, the NCB argued that Aryan is a regular consumer of drugs and his WhatsApp chats point at the buying of hard drugs in commercial quantity. The agency strongly objected to granting bail to the youngster.
However, Shah Rukh Khan’s son’s lawyers, including former Attorney General Mukul Rohatgi, have repeatedly underscored that they found no drugs on him and there was no evidence he had used drugs.
