Aryan Khan Bail Rejected, to Spend Weekend in Jail
Mumbai News Live, Aryan Khan Arrest Live Updates: The magistrate court on Friday rejected the interim bail plea filed by Aryan Khan and others in relation to the NCB drug raids case.
During the hearing, NCB opposed the grant of bail to Aryan Khan on grounds including that he is an influential person and may tamper with evidence.
The court said that the applications are not maintainable before it, the bail pleas of Aryan Khan, Arbaaz Merchant and Munmun Dhamecha were rejected. Further, they will have to apply for bail before special NDPS court.
Lawyer Satish Maneshinde, who appeared on behalf of Aryan, opposed the ground. “Merely because person belongs to affluent family, it cannot be said that evidence will be tampered with. What influence have I used? I am suffering for 6-7 days. People roaming free with much serious offences. I am not one of those,” he said.
Two others bail rejected in drugs case
After a hearing marked by snippy comments, a lot of bickering and flying tempers, a Mumbai court on Friday rejected the bail application of Aryan Khan, the son of Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan, and two others in a case pertaining to an alleged seizure of narcotic drugs from a cruise ship off the Mumbai coast.
“Applications rejected. Not maintainable,” said Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate R M Nerlikar while denying bail to the three accused. The judge dictated only the operative part of the order initially.
“Unless I complete the entire order, I won’t leave the court today,” said the judge. “Not appropriate to reserve the order at this point in time,” he said as the hearing drew well into the later half of the evening.
