The
Nationalist
Congress
Party
(NCP)
has
alleged
that
the
arrest
of
Shah
Rukh
Khan’s
son
Aryan
Khan
is
a
forgery
whilst
accusing
the
Narcotics
Control
Bureau
(NCB)
of
playing
in
the
hands
of
the
Bharatiya
Janata
Party
(BJP).
The
NCP
had
organised
a
press
conference
today
and
party
spokesperson
Nawab
Malik
stated
that
information
was
being
circulated
to
crime
reporters
that
the
next
target
is
actor
Shah
Rukh
Khan,
for
the
past
one
month.
The
Maharashtra
cabinet
minister
also
claimed
that
the
viral
visuals
released
after
the
arrest
of
Aryan
revealed
the
presence
of
outsiders
in
the
case.
Malik
asked,
“NCB
officials
later
claimed
Gosavi
was
not
an
NCB
official.
If
he
was
not
an
official,
what
was
he
doing
inside
the
NCB
office
with
Khan?”
“The
person
holding
the
hand
of
Arbaaz
Merchant
is
Manish
Bhanushali
and
is
a
BJP
vice
president
as
per
his
own
social
media
details.
There
are
numerous
pictures
of
him
with
senior
BJP
leaders,
including
Prime
Minister
Narendra
Modi
and
Devendra
Fadnavis.
The
NCB
will
have
to
explain
as
to
why
this
man
was
with
them
during
the
raid,”
he
added.
However,
the
NCB
has
denied
the
allegations
levelled
against
the
organisation
in
a
pressed
conference
addressed
by
Deputy
Director-General
of
NCB
Gyaneshwar
Singh.
He
said
that
all
the
allegations
levelled
by
the
NCP
about
probable
prejudice
are
baseless.
Singh
refuted
Malik’s
claim
that
no
drug
was
seized
from
the
cruise
ship
and
added,
“NCB
Mumbai
team
raided
international
cruise
terminal
Green
Gate
Mumbai
&
Cordelia
Cruise
ship
and
intercepted
8
persons
on
the
spot
along
with
various
drugs
like
cocaine,
charas,
MDMA.”
The
agency
has
also
released
a
statement
with
regard
to
the
aforementioned
matter.
The
press
release
read,
“Some
allegations
levelled
against
the
Organisation
are
baseless
and
seem
to
be
with
malice
and
probable
prejudice
that
may
have
been
harboured
in
retaliation
against
earlier
legal
actions
carried
out
by
NCB.
NCB
reiterates
that
it’s
procedure
has
been
and
will
continue
to
be
professionally
and
legally
transparent
and
unbiased.”
