Mumbai, October 3
The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) on Sunday arrested Aryan Khan, son of Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, and two others in connection with the seizure of banned drugs onboard a cruise ship off the Mumbai coast.
Aryan Khan would be produced before a metropolitan magistrate’s court here shortly.
Advocate Satish Maneshinde would be representing Aryan Khan in court.
Aryan Khan has been booked under various sections of the Narcotics Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act (NDPS) for possession and consumption of banned substances.
He and seven others were detained late Saturday night by NCB sleuths after they raided the cruise ship on its way from Mumbai to Goa.
The action came after the NCB’s dramatic swoop on Saturday evening aboard the Cordelia Cruises deluxe ship as it was preparing for a scheduled Mumbai-Goa voyage, stunning the people, especially in the entertainment industry.
This comes after Khan and six others identified as Munmun Dhamecha, Nupur Sarika, Ismeet Singh, Mohak Jaswal, Vikrant Chhoker, Gomit Chopra, and Arbaaz Merchant were detained.
An NCB official said different drugs like MDMA, ecstasy, cocaine, MD (mephedrone), and charas were recovered from them during the raid conducted on Saturday evening.
