Bollywood superstar Shahrukh Khan reached Arthur Road prison on Thursday morning where his son Aryan Khan is lodged for nearly three weeks since his arrest in the Mumbai cruise drugs case.
Aryan Khan was yet again denied bail on Wednesday after being arrested by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) on October 3 in the Mumbai cruise drugs bust case.
The 23-year-old son of Shahrukh Khan has spent nearly three weeks behind the bars and has now approached the Bombay High Court to seek bail in the drugs case.
While rejecting the bail application of Aryan Khan, Judge VV Patil held that prima facie there is evidence against him. Judge Patil wrote that though Aryan Khan was not found in possession of drugs, Aryan and Arbaaz Merchant are good friends. They travelled together to the International Cruise Terminal on October 2 and in their voluntary statement, spoke about the drugs, which implies that Aryan knew about the contraband, reported India Today.
Aryan Khan along with Arbaaz Merchant and Munmun Dhamecha have been booked for offences under Sections 8(c), 20(b), 27, 28, 29 and 35 of the NDPS Act.
Bail pleas of all the three were rejected on Wednesday. They are currently in judicial custody. While Aryan Khan and Arbaaz Merchant are lodged at the Arthur Road prison in Mumbai, Munmun Dhamecha is lodged at the Byculla women's prison in Mumbai.
