Aryan Khan to apply for bail today; NCB detains drug peddler in cruise rave bust case

The Narcotics Control Bureau, on Monday arrested a drug peddler in connection with the VVIP drug bust case in Mumbai.
According to reports on ANI, a drug supplier was taken into custody following a series of raids in Bandra, Andheri, and Lokhandwala, late on the intervening night of Sunday and Monday.
Earlier on Sunday, the NCB arrested all eight persons who were detained in connection with the Mumbai cruise party raid.Three accused including Shah Rukh Khan's son Aryan Khan, Arbaz Seth Merchant, and Munmun Dhamecha were remanded to NCB custody by the Esplanade Court in Mumbai till today.

Aryan Khan's advocate Satish Maneshinde argued that his client was invited to the event being held on the cruise by the organisers. "No incriminating material has been recovered from him (Aryan Khan). There is no possession or evidence of consumption," he said.
"Although the sections under which Aryan Khan has been booked are all bailable offences, I am willing to settle for one day's NCB custody so that we can file for bail before the regular court," Maneshinde added.

The star kid's bail hearing will be held today afternoon. Reports state that while Aryan was taken into custody, nothing was found on him and hence, he was booked only on consumption charges.

The NCB on Sunday said it had evidence to show the existence of a nexus between the persons it had arrested, suppliers and peddlers of drugs, in connection with the seizure of banned drugs onboard the cruise ship.

Other accused Nupur Satija, Ishmeet Singh Chadha, Mohak Jaiswal, Gomit Chopra and Vikrant Chhokar were arrested and will be produced before the court today after their medical tests.
