An Indian court on Monday denied bail to Bollywood megastar Shah Rukh Khan's son, ordering him to remain in the custody of the narcotics agency, a day after officials arrested him in connection with a drug raid.
The Bombay High Court said Aryan Khan must remain in the Narcotics Control Bureau's custody until Thursday.
Khan and seven others were detained when agents on Saturday raided a rave party and seized drugs from a luxury cruise ship off the Mumbai coast. They were formally arrested on Sunday.
A lawyer arguing for the narcotics agency told the court that it had evidence in form of WhatsApp messages that Khan communicated with drug peddlers on a regular basis. It did not, however, specify whether any drugs were found in Khan's possession when he was first detained.
Khan's lawyer, Satish Maneshinde, denied the allegations.
