Aryan Khan Bail Hearing To Resume Today In Drugs-On-Cruise Case
NDTV
Aryan Khan Case LIVE: Aryan Khan has been in jail since October 8. He was arrested after drug raids on a cruise ship party on October 2 by the NCB.
Aryan Khan's bail hearing will continue today before the Bombay High Court. Senior advocate and former attorney general of India Mukul Rohatgi will appear on behalf of Aryan Khan, son of superstar Shah Rukh Khan. Mr Rohatgi called Aryan Khan's arrest "arbitrary" yesterday as the court began its bail hearing.
Aryan Khan was wrongfully arrested though there was "no consumption or possession of drugs" and cases involving such small quantities of drug called for rehab rather than jail, former Attorney General Mukul Rohatgi argued on Tuesday in Bombay High Court.
Mukul Rohatgi argued that the case against Aryan Khan was based on old WhatsApp chats that were "irrelevant" and had nothing to do with the cruise. There was no recovery, no consumption and therefore "no need to arrest" him, said the senior lawyer.
Aryan Khan has been in jail since October 8. He was arrested after drug raids on a cruise ship party on October 2 by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB).
