Superstar Shah Rukh Khan’s son, Aryan Khan, was released on bail three weeks after he was arrested in a drug cruise. He will spend at least two more nights in jail because his team can only apply for release after a formal order issued by the Mumbai High Court today.
Aryan Khan, 23, was detained several hours after being arrested by the Narcotics Enforcement Bureau (NCB) on a cruise ship party on October 3rd. The star’s son has been in Arthur Road Prison in Mumbai since October 8 and has been refused bail twice. Aryan Khan’s friend Arbaaz Merchant and model Munmun Dhamecha were also released on bail. Aryan Khan’s lawyer and former Indian Attorney General Mukul Rohaji argued in court that no drugs were found on him and the reason for his arrest was untenable. However, NCB claimed that he was part of a conspiracy, and his WhatsApp chat revealed that he was involved in the illegal drug trade.
Given that no drugs were found on him and there were no signs of use, the case sparked a debate about whether the imprisonment of Aryan Khan was reasonable. Social media is flooded with messages of support, and many people call the arrest a political persecution. Aryan Khan’s father, Shah Rukh Khan, is 55 years old and is one of India’s largest and most popular movie stars. Khan’s home “Mannat” in Mumbai usually has a large number of fans waiting for SRK to see his style, especially on his birthday on November 2nd.
Idol. In the film industry, apart from Salman Khan, Farah Khan and Hrithik Roshan, few people publicly expressed support. After two bail was denied, senior lawyer Mukul Rohaji defended Aryan Khan’s case in the Mumbai High Court. Mr. Rohaji said that the arrest was wrong and violated his constitutional guarantees. He also told the court that the case against Aryan was based entirely on WhatsApp chats two years ago. These chats were “unimportant” and had nothing to do with cruise ships.
