Munmun Dhamecha, Co-Accused In Aryan Khan Drug Case, Leaves Jail

On Thursday the Bombay High Court granted Aryan Khan, Munmun Dhamecha and the third accused, Arbaaz Merchant, bail after two lower courts rule otherwise
Munmun Dhamecha - an accused in the drugs-on-cruise case - was released from the Byculla Women's Jail in Mumbai this morning, three days after the Bombay High Court granted her bail and a day after her lawyers submitted relevant documents to jail officials.
"She has been released from the jail after completion of all legal formalities. We are now going to file an application before the NCB (Narcotics Control Bureau) seeking permission to allow her to go Madhya Pradesh, as she hails from there," her lawyer Ali Kaashif Khan told news agency PTI.
Ms Dhamecha, reportedly a model, is one of three main accused in a case that involves Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan's son Aryan Khan, who left jail yesterday after spending 22 days in prison.
Aryan's release was also delayed; this was because of the need to get hard copies of his release papers into the jail's 'bail box', as opposed to electronic copies being shared; an archaic system that contrasts sharply with the basis of the case against him and his co-accused - WhatsApp chats.
