Mumbai drug probe: NCB questions Aryan Khan’s driver, bats to make a strong case

The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) on Saturday questioned the driver of actor Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan Khan who was arrested in connection with a drug seizure on a cruise ship off the Mumbai coast.

A Mumbai Magistrate court had on Thursday sent Aryan Khan and seven others to judicial custody for 14 days. The bail plea of Aryan Khan who was arrested on October 3 was denied by the court yesterday.

An NCB team busted an alleged drugs party on the Cordelia Cruise ship which was on its way to Goa at mid-sea on October 2.

Meanwhile, social media users have questioned the intent and functioning of NCB, asserting that the central probe agency is trying to “make an example out of Aryan Khan,” purely because of his celebrity status.

It must be noted that during court hearing, Khan’s lawyer has asserted that no amount of drug was found on Aryan and neither were any chats recovered indicating possession, demand or consumption of drugs.
