The stipulated period of 180 days to file the chargesheet ended on Thursday.
A special court on Thursday granted the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) additional 60 days to submit the chargesheet in the drug case that names actor Shah Rukh Khan's son Aryan Khan.
The stipulated period of 180 days to file the chargesheet ended on Thursday. On March 28, NCB's special investigation team (SIT) had sought 90 more days to complete investigation and file chargesheet in the case.
The central agency filed an application before the special Narcotics Drugs Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act court seeking more time to file the chargesheet in the drug case busted on October 2 when 13 grams of cocaine, five grams of MD (mephedrone), 21 grams of charas, 22 pills of MDMA (ecstasy) and Rs 1,33,000 cash were seized at the International Cruise Terminal, Mumbai
The case was transferred to the SIT on November 6, 2021 and on March 2, the SIT chief Sanjay Singh had said that it is highly premature to say that there is no evidence against Mr Khan in the case.
On October 29, the Bombay High Court had granted bail to Mr Khan, 23, and two others and directed that they be released from Arthur Road Jail after executing a cash bond of Rs 1 lakh with one or more sureties.
Mr Khan along with eight others have been charged with sections 8 (c) — prohibition to produce, manufacture, possess, sell, purchase, transport, warehouse, use, consume, import inter-State, export inter-State, import into India, export from India or tran-ship any narcotic drug or psychotropic substance, 20 (b) — punishment for contravention in relation to cannabis plant and cannabis produces, manufactures, possesses, sells, purchases, transports, imports inter-State, exports inter-State or uses cannabis, 27 — punishment for consumption of any narcotic drug or psychotropic substance, 28 — punishment for attempts to commit offences and 29 — punishment for abetment and criminal conspiracy read with 35 — presumption of culpable mental state of the NDPS Act.
