“As argued by the learned ASG (Additional Solicitor General), though no criminal antecedent are there, from WhatsApp chats of Applicant No. 1 (Aryan Khan) it is reflected that he was indulging in illicit drug activities,” it said.
“Accused 1&2 have been friends since long. They traveled together, and they were apprehended together at the international cruise terminal. Further, in their voluntary statements, they both disclosed that they possessed the said substance for consumption and enjoyment. Thus, all these things go to show that Aryan Khan was having knowledge of contraband concealed by 2 in his shoes,” the court said.
It will be very interesting to see how the events unfold in this case as Aryan’s parents look worried about his future.
A Mumbai sessions court denied bail to actor Shah Rukh Khan’s son on Wednesday. The 23-year-old was arrested by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) on October 3 following a raid on a cruise ship off the coast of Mumbai.
