Aryan Khan is in NCB custody till today

A team of officers from Narcotics Control Bureau conducts a search at the cruise ship in Mumbai where drugs were seized. Eight more more people have been taken into custody.

Three persons-- Shah Rukh Khans son Aryan Khan, Arbaaz Merchant and Munmun Dhamecha-- who were arrested after they were questioned in the wake of Saturday nights raid on the cruise ship off Mumbai coast, were remanded in NCB custody till today.

NCB had sought custody of the arrested trio till October 5. Lawyer Satish Maneshinde had pleaded for Aryans bail arguing that it was a bailable offence and no contraband had been found in his possession. But the court remanded the trio in custody till Monday.

The NCB said that there was material in the form of WhatsApp chats against the three, allegedly showing nexus with peddlers and suppliers on regular basis. The three are booked under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act related to charges of possession, consumption and sale of illegal substances.
