There's
no
denying
that
it's
the
toughest
time
for
Shah
Rukh
Khan,
Gauri
Khan,
Aslam
Merchant
and
others,
whose
children
have
been
arrested
by
Narcotics
Control
Bureau
(NCB)
in
connection
with
the
case
of
seizure
of
banned
drugs
from
a
cruise
ship
off
the
Mumbai
coast.
While
neither
Gauri
nor
Shah
Rukh
has
reacted
to
Aryan's
arrest
yet,
Arbaaz
Merchant's
father
spoke
to
media
and
revealed
that
NCB
has
been
treating
all
the
accused
kids
quite
nicely.
Arbaaz
is
also
in
the
custody
of
NCB
along
with
his
friend
Aryan.
While
speaking
to
Times
Now,
Aslam
Merchant
who's
a
lawyer
by
profession,
said,
"It
is
all
baseless
allegations,
but
it
is
under
investigation.
It
is
very
premature
to
state
anything
at
this
point
in
time.
The
NCB
has
been
very
cooperative
and
very
nice
to
the
kids.
I
being
a
lawyer,
have
faith
in
the
judiciary.
The
truth
will
prevail
and
they
will
come
out
scott-free.
They
are
innocent."
When
asked
about
if
the
reports
are
true
that
illegal
drugs
are
found
on
Arbaaz,
he
said,
"Whatever
was
found,
was
found
inside
the
ship,
not
outside.
They
didn't
even
enter
the
ship.
They
were
guests."
Those
who
are
unaware,
reportedly,
NCB
has
claimed
that
it
had
discovered
'shocking
and
incriminating'
material
in
WhatsApp
chats
of
Aryan
and
two
others.
Reacting
to
the
same,
Aslam
Merchant
said,
"There
is
absolutely
no
WhatsApp
chats
related
to
drugs.
They
were
not
even
prepared.
It
was
just
a
last-minute
discussion
of
going
to
the
ship.
They
were
invitees.
They
just
decided
out
of
the
blue.
He
had
breakfast
with
me
and
was
supposed
to
have
dinner
with
me."
Meanwhile,
the
court
has
extended
custody
of
Aryan,
Arbaaz
and
Munmun
Dhamecha
till
October
7.
