Aryan Khan and Arthur road jail

Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan (SRK)'s son Aryan Khan is currently lodged in Mumbai's Arthur Road Jail.

Today the Mumbai sessions court has reserved the bail plea matter for October 20. Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan's son Aryan Khan will have to spend six more days in Arthur Road jail in Mumbai.

Senior Lawyer Amit Desai, who is representing Shah Rukh Khan‘s son Aryan in the Mumbai drugs bust case, on Thursday lauded the NCB’s efforts in curbing drug menace but reminded them of his client’s Constitutional rights as he pushed for his bail. Aryan has been lodged in Mumbai’s Arthur Road Jail since Friday after he was granted judicial custody. The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) continued to oppose Aryan Khan‘s bail plea in the special court today. They said that evidence shows Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan’s son has been a regular consumer of drugs for three year. The agency added that his friend Arbaaz Merchant was found to possess contraband. “This was for consumption of both. Hence, bail shouldn’t be granted as Khan may tamper with evidence and influence witnesses," NCB said in the court.


The special court is hearing the bail plea of Aryan Khan, who was arrested in connection with the seizure of banned drugs on board a cruise ship off Mumbai coast. Arthur Road Jail superintendent Nitin Waychal today said that Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan’s son and five others have been shifted to the common cell from quarantine barrack after their Covid report came negative. 


The matter will be heard by a special judge under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act (NDPS Act), VV Patil. Aryan Khan's counsel is Senior Advocate Amit Desai, whereas Additional Solicitor General Anil Singh will commence arguments on behalf of Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB).


For the unversed, Aryan Khan is currently locked in Arthur Road jail in connection with a drugs case. He was arrested by the NCB on October 3, a day after the agency busted an alleged rave party and detained him.

While I have no doubts in mind that he has taken the drugs in question, I’m more than convinced this is being dragged because he is Khan’s son.
