Aryan Khan, son of Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, was granted bail by the Bombay High Court in connection with the Mumbai cruise drugs seizure case on Thursday.
Along with Aryan, the court also granted bail to Arbaaz Merchantt and Munmun Dhamecha in the case. “Bombay High Court has granted bail to Aryan Khan, Arbaz Merchant, Munmun Dhamecha after hearing the arguments for three days. The detailed order will be given tomorrow. Hopefully, they all will come out of the jail by tomorrow or Saturday,” said former attorney general Mukul Rohatgi, who represented Aryan Khan, who was arrested on October 3 along with several others during a raid by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) on Cordelia Cruises’ Empress ship off the Mumbai coast. His bail application was earlier rejected by both the magistrate court and the special NDPS court. “All three pleas are allowed. I will pass detailed orders by tomorrow evening,” Justice Sambre had said.
Aryan Khan has been lodged in Mumbai’s Arthur Road jail since October 8.
