Mumbai drugs case: No respite for Aryan Khan, bail hearing on Wednesday

New Delhi, Oct 11: The bail application of Shah Rukh Khan's son Aryan Khan in the cruise drugs case will now be heard on Wednesday.

Aryan was among eight persons who were arrested on October 3 in connection with a drug raid on a cruise ship.

On Thursday, the metropolitan magistrate had sent eight accused including Aryan (23) in 14-day judicial custody after their NCB remand ended.

Opposing the NCB's remand extension plea, Aryan Khan's lawyer Satish Maneshinde said his client was not connected with any of the other accused.

Aryan was on cruise as a "VVIP guest" and "a person connected with Bollywood wanted to add glamour to the cruise and hence invited him," the lawyer claimed.

"I (Aryan) am nowhere connected with any other person in cruise, or other arrested accused. I have no connection with the organizers or the other arrested accused," advocate Maneshinde submitted.

He, however, accepted that Aryan knew Arbaaz Merchant.
