No bail, it's jail for Aryan Khan

October 08, 2021 17:17

The Magistrate's court in Mumbai has said that the bail applications of Aryan Khan and two others are not maintainable before it and hence it has been rejected. In effect, Aryan Khan will spend the night at Arthur Road Jail today.

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.

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.

The court had on Thursday rejected the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) plea seeking further custody of Aryan Khan, Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan's son, and seven others, saying simply doing this would be ' violation of their fundamental rights'.

Additional Metropolitan Magistrate R M Nerlikar sent the eight to 14-day judicial custody instead.
