The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) filed a 6000-page charge sheet before the special court in Mumbai on Friday, May 27, 2022, and has not named actor Shah Rukh Khan's son Aryan, 23, in the drug racket case.
As per a press note released by the agency, "All accused were found in possession of narcotics except Aryan (Khan) and Mohak. The touchstone of the principle of proof beyond reasonable doubt has been applied. Based on which a complaint has been filed against 14 accused and a complaint against six (including Aryan Khan) is not filed due to lack of sufficient evidence."
On March 28, the agency filed an application before the special Narcotics Drugs Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act court seeking more time to file the charge sheet in the drug case busted on October 2 when 13 grams of cocaine, five grams of MD (mephedrone), 21 grams of charas, 22 pills of MDMA (ecstasy) and ₹1,33,000 cash were seized at the International Cruise Terminal, Mumbai.
The case was transferred to a special investigation team on November 6, 2021, and on March 2, its chief Sanjay Singh said that it was highly premature to say that there was no evidence against Mr. Khan in the case.
