Anti-drugs agency Narcotics Control Bureau has sought longer custody of Aryan Khan, the 23-year-old son of Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan, who was arrested in the cruise ship drugs case last evening. The agency told the court today that they need him in custody till October 11 for questioning him.
"Unless we investigate the consumer how do we know who is the supplier, who is financing it?" the agency told the court, contending that an international cartel is apparently involved in the case. The Bombay High Court has said all offences under NDPS are non-bailable, he contended.
Aryan Khan has been accused of purchase, possession and use of banned substances, the agency has said. He was also seen in a viral video on social media allegedly shot after the raids.
The high-profile drug raid that led to his arrest from a cruise ship off the coast of Mumbai -- where a rave party was apparently in progress -- yielded 13 grams of cocaine, 21 grams of charas, 22 pills of MDMA and 5 grams of MD, the Narcotics Control Bureau has said.
