Mumbai (Maharashtra): The Esplanade Court on Friday rejected bail plea of Aryan Khan, son of Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Kha.
Earlier in the day, during the hearing on the bail plea in connection in connection with the drugs-on-cruise case, he has made an emotional appeal to the court saying, "I am Indian. My parents are Indian and living in India. I have Indian passport. I am co-operating with the authority. There is no question that I will leave the country."
Since the court rejected his bail plea, Khan's lawyer is likely to move the sessions court. Aryan Khan has been sent to Arthur road jail and placed in quarantine cell.
A fierce argument happened between Aryan's lawyer Maneshinde and narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) lawyer over the bail application in the court. The NCB was seen vociferously opposing the bail plea on various grounds.
On Monday, Mumbai's Killa court had extended the custodial remand of Aryan and two other accused Arbaz Seth Merchant and Munmun Dhamecha to October 7 in connection with the drugs-on-cruise case. As per the NCB sources, the trio confessed to carrying drugs with them on the cruise. The trio's custodial remand with the NCB ended on October 4 and the Magistrate Court had sent them into judicial custody.
