Shah Rukh Khan's son Aryan Khan to spend another night in jail; Bail hearing to continue on October 14
Last Thursday, Aryan Khan was sent to judicial custody and was remanded in Arthur Road Jail in Mumbai. The court hearing began with the NCB submitting their responses to the bail pleas. "1 applicant cannot be considered in isolation. All these persons are an integral part of a common thread that cannot be separated or dissected from each other. In such situation, the quantum of recovery, from an individual becomes inconsequential," a part of the reply read.

"Considering the influential person, that this applicant holds in the society, he may tamper with evidence and influence other witnesses whom he personally knows is very much possible. Also, the possibility of the applicant fleeing justice cannot be ruled out," NCB mentioned referring to Shah Rukh Khan's son Aryan.

Senior Advocate Amit Desai who was representing Aryan Khan said in the court after reading the bail plea responses by NCB, said, "The maximum case against Aryan Khan is no possession, admission of consumption." Desai said that none of the recoveries mentioned in the panchnama was from Aryan.

"If he did not have the cash he had no plans to purchase. If he had no substance he wasn't going to sell or consume," he added.

Talking about the charges, Desai said, "The only section '27A' of the NDPS Act that deals with illicit traffic, is not applied to Aryan Khan. It is not invoked till now because they are aware Mr. Khan is not involved in any illicit trafficking. It is applied to others, not to him."

"They are some young kids. In many countries these substances are legal. Let us not penalise in bail. Let us not make it worse for them. They have suffered enough, they have learnt their lesson, if at all. They are not peddlers, racketeers or traffickers," said Desai.

The ASG representing the NCB after hearing Desai's side presented his argument. At 5.30 pm, the ASG requested to continue the argument tomorrow at noon. When Desai requested to schedule it for 11 am tomorrow, the court said that it has 5-6 matters tomorrow and wil take it up after that.

NCB had seized 13 grams of cocaine, 5 grams of MD (mephedrone), 21 grams of charas (small quantity), 22 pills of MDMA (ecstasy) (intermediate quantity), and Rs 1,33,000 at International Cruise Terminal, Mumbai. However, they had said in the court that no drugs were found on Aryan Khan but they discovered small quantity contrabands on the co-accused.
