Mumbai drugs case: No bail for Aryan Khan, Shah Rukh Khan's son to remain in Arthur road jail

Mumbai, Oct 08: Mumbai's Esplanade court on Friday rejected bail plea of Aryan Khan, Arbaaz Khan and Munmun Dhamecha, in the case related to the seizure of drugs following a raid at a party on a cruise ship off the Mumbai coast

Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate RM Nerlikar rejected the bail pleas of Aryan Khan (23) and the other two accused.

Not appropriate to reserve the order, the judge said, rejecting the application, adding that it was not maintainable.

The court on Thursday sent Aryan Khan and seven others arrested in the case in 14-day judicial remand after their NCB custody ended.

Additional Solicitor General Anil Singh, appearing for the NCB, opposed the bail applications of the three accused.

After hearing the arguments, the magistrate denied bail to Aryan Khan, Munmun Dhamecha and Arbaaz Merchant, saying their applications were not maintainable.

The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) had arrested these three along with some others over the last weekend after raiding the Goa-bound Cordelia cruise ship on Saturday evening. The central agency had claimed to have recovered drugs from the ship.

A total of 18 persons have been arrested so far in the case.
