Shahrukh Khan's son Aryan's bail application will be heard in Mumbai's Sessions Court (NDPS Court) today. Aryan, who is in judicial custody for 14 days in the Cruise Drugs Party case, has been kept in Arthur Road Jail. Shahrukh has hired Amit Desai, a Mumbai-based lawyer, for Aryan. He will advocate this case along with Satish Manshinde. Let us tell you that in the year 2002, Desai had acquitted Salman Khan in the hit and run case.
On the other hand, the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB), which arrested Aryan, will file its reply in court today at 11.30 am. After that, the hearing on Aryan's bail can be held after lunch i.e. around 2.45 pm. Let us tell you that earlier Aryan's bail application has been rejected by Metropolitan Magistrate Court i.e. Qila Court. In the Cruise Drugs Party case, NCB has arrested 20 people including Aryan, including two foreign nationals.
Attempts are being made to confuse Aryan based on WhatsApp chat: The petition filed in the court on behalf of advocate Aryan Khan states that 'without establishing the veracity or accuracy of the WhatsApp chat, the prosecution is trying to defraud him (Aryan) in the present proceedings'. Relying on some alleged WhatsApp chats to confuse. "Furthermore, there is nothing to suggest that these alleged chats have any connection with the (cruise drug case) case which is presently under investigation," the plea further said.
NCB will oppose bail:
During the hearing held on October 11, NCB had sought one week from the court in this matter. The court had given NCB time till Wednesday i.e. till today. NCB zonal director Sameer Wankhede says that we and the prosecution will try that the case concludes, our case is strong and we will present it in the court. According to sources, NCB will oppose Aryan's bail, saying that Aryan will be interrogated in front of some other accused arrested in this case.
Aryan's Sixth Day in Jail
The NCB arrested Aryan Khan on 3 October after a raid on the Cordilia Cuz going to Goa. He has been in Arthur Road Jail since October 8 after being sent to judicial custody by the court. NCB has not found any drugs from Aryan, but Aryan had confessed to taking drugs as a hobby during interrogation. The matter of hiding charas in the shoes of his friend Arbaaz Merchant also came to the fore.
