Aryan Khan drugs case: Bombay High Court likely to hear bail plea today

VV Patil, special judge for the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act cases, had on Wednesday rejected the bail pleas of Aryan Khan, his friend Arbaaz Merchant (26) and fashion model Munmun Dhamecha (28).

Mumbai: Bombay High Court is likely to hear the bail applications of Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan Khan and a few others who were arrested by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) following a raid on a cruise ship off the Mumbai coast during which it seized drugs from their possession on October 3.

VV Patil, special judge for the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act cases, had on Wednesday rejected the bail pleas of Aryan Khan, his friend Arbaaz Merchant (26) and fashion model Munmun Dhamecha (28).

The court observed that ‘on the face of it', he (Aryan Khan) was indulging in "illicit drug activities on a regular basis". His WhatsApp chats also showed, prima facie, that he was in touch with drug peddlers, the court noted.
