Mumbai: The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) is likely to seek further custody of Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan Khan for investigation in the drugs-on-cruise case, India Today reported.
Aryan, model Munmun Dhamecha and Arbaaz Merchant were remanded to a day’s NCB custody by the Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate RK Rajebhosale on Sunday.
The report further said that the NCB had picked one Shreyas Nair, who had allegedly supplied drugs to Aryan and his friend Arbaaz. His name was found in their mobile chats, which further revealed that the three had earlier met at parties.
Aryan was arrested at 2 pm on Sunday on basis of these chats.
According to News18, Aryan’s phone and WhatsApp chats revealed that he was regularly ordering and consuming drugs for the last 4 years.
While Arbaaz told the NCB that a Goa-based peddler used to supply him with the drugs, the other accused, Munmun, revealed that she received the drugs near the international airport, close to a five-star hotel, the news magazine added.
