Aryan Khan Arrest: Full Report, See How Fans React

New Delhi: A purported video of Aryan Khan the son of actor Shah Rukh Khan has been doing the rounds on social media after he became one of the eight people questioned by the Narcotics Control Bureau following a raid at a party on a cruise ship off the coast of Mumbai last night.

The video is supposedly a leaked one and NDTV cannot independently verify its authenticity. Shah Rukh Khan and his lawyers have not yet commented on the video and nor has the police.

Earlier today, the drugs control agency had issued a statement saying Aryan Khan was among the eight people questioned in the case, who also included Munmun Dhamecha, Nupur Sarika, Ismeet Singh, Mohak Jaswal, Vikrant Chhoker, Gomit Chopra and Arbaaz Merchant.

“All eight, including Aryan Khan, are being questioned. Based on their statements further action will be taken,” said the agency said.

The NCB had boarded the cruise ship disguised as passengers and conducted the raid once the ship sailed and the party started.

Drugs like Ecstasy, Cocaine, MD (Mephedrone) and Charas were recovered from the party on board the ship, the agency said.

Mumbai Drug Bust: Union Minister Athawale Calls for Severe Punishment

Against the backdrop of the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) detaining Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan Khan and others after busting a drugs party onboard a cruise ship near Mumbai, Union minister Ramdas Athawale on Sunday said anybody involved in such wrong acts should face severe punishment.

Speaking to reporters at Ulhasnagar in the Thane district, Athawale said he would request Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray to ensure that the state and Mumbai are rid of drugs.

“After the death of Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput, the cases of drugs in the film industry have come to light.  The film industry is plagued with (the misuse of) drugs. We want Maharashtra and Mumbai to be free of drugs. We will raise this demand with the CM,” he said.

Athawale also took potshots at Shiv Sena-led Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government, saying its constituents are involved in “infighting” instead of addressing the issue of pothole-ridden roads.

The RPI (A) chief further said his party would ally with BJP in the upcoming elections including the one to the Kalyan Dombivali Municipal Corporation (KDMC).

Athawale said the elections to the Mumbai civic body will be held along with the KDMC.

“I am confident that a BJP nominee will be elected as mayor and RPI candidate as deputy mayor,” he added.
