Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan’s eldest son Aryan Khan will stay in jail till 20 October, who was arrested in a drug case by Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) in Mumbai on 3 October.According to Indian media reports, judge V V Patel restrained his order on SRK’s son’s bail plea.
Meanwhile, Aryan’s lawyer Amit Desai rejected all allegations of the star kid’s association to an international drug ring.His lawyer said, “Is this boy [Aryan] involved in any international drug trafficking? They say we are in touch with the Ministry of External Affairs. Well, you go ahead and continue. But this allegation is inherently absurd and false.”
He further added, “Today’s WhatsApp chats between friends can sound different. These are private moments which are being investigated. You can go ahead and investigate. But this has nothing to with illicit drug trafficking. Context is important when we deal with evidentiary value. There are no messages about the rave party.”
Many Bollywood actors and TV celebrities have been the focus of what appears to be an investigation into claims of widespread drug use in the Hindi film industry since 2020.
In 2020, the narcotics agency questioned at least four actresses, Deepika Padukone among them; none of them have been prosecuted for any offenses.
Actress Rhea Chakraborty was also arrested in 2020 when it was reported that she had bought drugs for her lover, the actor Sushant Singh Rajput.
When Rajput, 34, was found dead in his flat, police initially thought he had taken his own life.
Chakraborty, who had denied any wrongdoing, was released from prison one month after her arrest.
