Attempt To "Implicate" Aryan Khan, Anti-Drugs Agency Says

The name of Aryan Khan, son of superstar Shah Rukh Khan, has been cleared in the drugs-on-cruise case
The investigating officer in the drugs-on-cruise case was "motivated to somehow implicate Aryan Khan", an enquiry by a special investigation team of Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) has found.
The team was probing the initial investigation into the drugs case led by the anti-drugs agency's former zonal director Sameer Wankhede.
Aryan Khan, son of superstar Shah Rukh Khan, was arrested in October after a drugs raid on a cruise ship off the Mumbai coast. He was later granted bail. Yesterday, his name was cleared in the case as the NCB's 6,000-page chargesheet, naming 14 accused, doesn't mention him.
"It appears I.O. was motivated to somehow implicate Aryan Khan in the drugs case. Courts in general are very lenient with persons from whom drug is not recovered and against whom there is no cogent evidence," the SIT said in an internal communication regarding the enquiry.
