Kathmandu, October 29. The Bombay High Court on Thursday granted bail to Aryan Khan, son of Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan. Aryan is likely to walk out of Jail today evening at 5:30 p.m. Indian Standard Time.

Earlier on October 3, the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) of India busted a luxury party on a cruise liner. During the surprise raid, 19 young people were apprehended with narcotics.

23-year-old Aryan Khan was also arrested with drugs worth 1 lakh 33 thousand Indian rupees. He was kept in custody in Mumbai’s Arthur Road jail on charges of narcotic consumption, sale, and purchase.

As Aryan gears up to leave the jail after 24 days, Shah Rukh breathes a sigh of relief. “The father had tears of joy in his eyes,” Khan’s lawyer Mukul Rohatgi told reporters.

Rohtagi continued “I’m not even sure whether Shah Rukh had proper meals. He was just having coffee after coffee.”

NCB questions Ananya

Last week, the Hyderabad-based anti-drug agency also summoned 22-year-old Bollywood celebrity child Ananya Panday for her apparent involvement in the Aryan Khan case.

The celebrity drug hunt has its origins in the mysterious death of Sushant Singh Rajput, who was discovered dead in his home on June 14, 2020. Since then, NCB has questioned several high-profile celebrities through traces of WhatsApp conversations.
