The
hearing
on
bail
application
of
Bollywood
star
Shah
Rukh
Khan's
son
Aryan
Khan
in
connection
with
a
drugs
case
has
been
adjourned
for
tomorrow
(October
27,
2021)
by
the
Bombay
High
Court.
As
per
ETimes
report,
this
decision
was
taken
after
Arbaaz
Merchant's
lawyer
and
the
ASG
said
that
they
will
need
45
minutes
each
for
their
arguments.
Another
report
in
News18
stated
that
the
senior
advocate
and
former
Attorney
General
of
India
Mukul
Rohatgi
who
appeared
on
Aryan
Khan's
behalf
told
the
court
during
the
hearing
that
his
client
was
not
a
customer
and
had
been
invited
on
the
cruise
as
a
special
guest.
'In
fact,
no
drugs
were
recovered
from
him
and
no
medical
test
was
done
to
prove
he
had
even
consumed,"
he
told
the
HC
bench.
He
argued
that
Aryan's
case
will
go
under
sections
8(c),
27
and
20(b)
and
not
Section
27A.
He
also
questioned
why
the
star
kid
had
to
spend
the
last
23
days
in
jail
when
he
didn't
consume
or
possess
drugs.
Rohatgi
told
Bombay
HC
that
Aryan
Khan's
case
has
attracted
public
and
media
gaze
because
of
his
parents.
On
the
other
hand,
the
Narcotics
Control
Bureau
(NCB)
had
opposed
Aryan's
bail
plea
and
claimed
that
their
prima
facie
investigation
has
revealed
that
the
star
kid
used
to
procure
drugs
from
his
friend
Arbaaz
Merchant
who
is
also
an
accused
in
this
case.
They
had
mentioned
in
their
affadivit
that
even
though
there
has
been
no
recovery
of
drugs
from
Aryan,
he
has
"participated
in
the
conspiracy".
Aryan
Khan
along
with
his
friend
Arbaaz
Merchant
and
model
Munmun
Dhamecha
was
arrested
by
the
NCB
after
the
agency
raided
an
alleged
rave
party
on
cruise
ship
Cordelia
that
was
bound
from
Mumbai
to
Goa.
On
October
8,
the
magistrate
court
had
rejected
the
trio's
bail
plea.
The
special
NDPS
court
also
refused
to
grant
bail
to
Aryan
on
October
20
following
which
his
legal
team
moved
High
Court.
Aryan
is
currently
lodged
in
Arthur
Road
jail
and
his
judicial
custody
has
been
extended
till
October
30.
