Aryan Khan gets bail by the Bombay High Court

Mumbai, Oct. 28: Aryan Khan has been granted bail after more than three weeks in jail, by the Bombay High Court.
The 23-year-old son of Shah Rukh Khan has been in custody since October 3, hours after drugs raids on a cruise ship party.

Aryan Khan had been denied bail twice before.

Aryan Khan has been in jail since October 8. He was detained after drug raids on a cruise ship party on October 2 by the NCB. Aryan Khan has been denied bail twice before. The special anti-drugs court that denied him bail last week said he knew about charas hidden in his friend Arbaaz Merchant’s shoe, and this amounted to “conscious possession”. Arbaaz Merchant was also arrested along with Aryan and 18 others.

Aryan Khan drugs case: Sameer Wankhede’s wife Kranti Redkar writes letter to CM

Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) zonal director Sameer Wankhede’s wife, actress Kranti Redkar, wrote an emotional letter to Maharashtra chief minister Uddhav Thackeray, seeking justice for him.

Wankhede is battling a series of allegations levelled against him in connection with the drugs case involving actor Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan Khan, who was arrested earlier this month following a raid on a Mumbai cruise ship.

In the letter written in Marathi that Kranti Redkar also tweeted, the actress said she was an ardent follower of Chhatrapati Shivaji and Bal Thackeray, and that her image was being tarnished and personal life intruded upon.

“I am a Marathi “mulgi” (Marathi speaking girl). I have grown up following the Shiv Sena, which had been fighting for the rights of the Marathi manoos. Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and Hinduhruday Samrat Balasaheb Thackeray have been my ideals since childhood…

Both of them taught us to neither do injustice to anyone, nor tolerate one. Following their teaching, I have been fighting this battle alone against people… attacking my personal life… On social media, people have been making fun [of me],” she wrote in the letter, as translated from Marathi.

“Had Balasaheb been around today, he wouldn’t have liked it. He would categorically condemn the personal attacks on a woman and her family indicating how politics has stooped so low,” Redkar wrote, urging Uddhav Thackeray to step in and help. “Today, he (Bal Thackeray) is not alive, but you are there… I am sure that you will never allow any injustice to happen to me and my family. As Marathi manoos, I am looking up to you with hope for justice.”

Redkar wrote that she doesn’t want to dive into the politics of the entire episode.
