Drugs case: No bail for Aryan Khan; Bombay HC adjourns hearing till Wednesday

Aryan Khan also distanced himself from allegations of extortion attempts against Wankhede, who had supervised the raid on the ship on October 2. "Aryan has no complaints whatsoever against any officer of the NCB, including its zonal director Sameer Wankhede. Aryan is not concerned with these unsavoury controversies. He completely denies any relation to this," Rohatgi told the court.

Rohatgi also said that the NCB wrongly relied on WhatsApp chats of Aryan Khan as they had no connection with the present case. "The chats are of 2018, 2019 and 2020 and it has absolutely no connection with this cruise party. The chats are with some random persons, including some foreigners about drugs. This would relate to alleged consumption in the past," he said.

Earlier in the day, the NCB told the court that the 23-year-old was not just a consumer of drugs, but also involved in illicit drug trafficking.

The agency also claimed that Aryan Khan and a woman named Pooja Dadlani, Shah Rukh Khan's manager, were tampering with the evidence and witnesses in the case in an attempt to derail the investigation.

Aryan Khan was arrested earlier this month in the cruise drugs seizure case.
