Aryan Khan, son of movie star Shah Rukh Khan, has been denied bail in the Mumbai drugs-on-cruise case and will be spending the weekend in prison. He was sent to judicial custody by the Magistrate’s court yesterday. Aryan Khan was supplied drugs by one of the other men arrested in the cruise ship drug bust, the anti-drugs agency said in court yesterday as it argued against the 23-year-old being given bail. On Monday, he was denied bail after his sensational arrest and was sent to the custody of anti-drugs agency Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) till yesterday by a Mumbai court.
Aryan Khan has been kept in the quarantine cell of Mumbai’s Arthur Road jail. The women were taken to Byculla jail. All the eight accused, including Aryan Khan, have tested negative for COVID-19. But as per the new jail guidelines, new accused should be kept in the quarantine cell for seven days.
All eight were arrested on Sunday after the anti-drugs agency went undercover and raided a rave party on Saturday evening on the “Cordelia” cruise sailing from Mumbai to Goa.
The raids produced a haul of 13 grams of cocaine, 21 grams of charas, 22 pills of MDMA and 5 grams of MD, the anti-drugs bureau said. The drugs were found hidden in clothes, underwear and purses, reported news agency Press Trust of India, quoting an unnamed official of the anti-drugs bureau.
