Bollywood megastar Shah Rukh Khan’s son, Aryan Khan, is likely to be arrested on Sunday by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) after drugs were seized from a cruise ship off Mumbai coast on Saturday night.
Aryan Khan, who was on the cruise, has been detained, with the central agency sleuths questioning him and examining his WhatsApp chats.
Indian media reported that initial scanning of Aryan Khan’s phone has revealed messages which show he was regularly ordering and consuming drugs.
The case against Aryan Khan is “strong” and the central agency sleuths are likely to arrest him after the questioning is done, the media reported. “In all probability, Aryan will be arrested soon,” the sources told News18.
There are seven others who have also been detained and are also likely to be arrested in the case. NCB officers are questioning Munmun Dhamecha, Nupur Sarika, Ismeet Singh, Mohak Jaswal, Vikrant Chhoker, Gomit Chopra and Arbaaz Merchant.
The central agency’s team, which raided Cordelia cruise after it departed from Mumbai on Saturday night, seized drugs such as cocaine, LSD, hashish and MD from those present on board.
A Delhi-based entity had supplied most drugs for the party on the cruise ship, while LSD was procured online. “There were other celebrities, too, on the cruise but those who were not found possessing drugs have not been detained,” said the media.
