No Drugs On Aryan Khan, WhatsApp Chats Incriminating: Drugs Control Agency
NDTV
In an earlier hearing, the NCB told the court that WhatsApp chats of Aryan Khan, Arbaaz Merchant and Munmun Dhamecha had "shocking and incriminating" material that pointed to "international drug trafficking".
Aryan Khan, the son of megastar Shah Rukh Khan, had no drugs on him when he was searched, the drugs-control authority Narcotics Control Bureau or NCB has told a Mumbai court. But his chats on WhatsApp were incriminating, which is why he needs to be thoroughly questioned, the agency said, arguing that the 23-year-old was supplied drugs by one of the other men arrested in the cruise ship drug bust.
Aryan Khan was arrested on Saturday after a raid on a cruise ship that was to travel from Mumbai to Goa, where a rave party was in progress. So far, 16 people have been arrested, including those who helped organise the event.
"Aryan Khan also gave the name of Achint Kumar and after that he was apprehended," Additional Solicitor General Anil Kumar told the court.
"It is one connected case and we have to establish the entire conspiracy and the deal. We cannot be segregating them. It cannot be done. The purpose of the agency is find out the real culprit and the entire gang. Or else it will continue forever. The entire chain will have to be screened," he added.
