Aryan Khan Case Witness Wants To 'Surrender' In UP, Cops Say Move On

Aryan Khan case: Lucknow Police Commissioner told NDTV that Kiran Gosavi cannot surrender in the Uttar Pradesh capital

Kiran Gosavi, the Narcotics Control Bureau's "independent witness" in the cruise ship drugs case who has been untraced for weeks, surfaced today, saying he wants to surrender to the Uttar Pradesh police as he felt "threatened" in Maharashtra.

But the expected drama ended in anti-climax, with the police flatly refusing to accept his surrender. An audio clip circulated by sources close to Mr Gosavi, indicated the policemen at a local station in Lucknow unceremoniously turned him down.

The clip was of a phone call where a man, purportedly Mr Gosavi, is heard asking if it was the Madiyaon police chowki. After confirming, he said "I want to come there. I am Kiran Gosavi. I want to surrender here".

"Why have you come here?" the policeman responded.
