Earlier today, Shah Rukh Khan was snapped visiting his son Aryan Khan at Arthur Raod Jail where the latter is lodged in connection with a drugs case.

On Thursday, a team of NCB sleuths arrived at Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan and Gauri Khan's residence Mannat in Mumbai amid the ongoing drugs case against their son Aryan Khan. As per reports, the NCB team was at SRK's residence for some documentation work. Top officials confirmed no raids were conducted at Mannat. Instead, the NCB team visited SRK's residence to complete some documentation work. Earlier today, Shah Rukh Khan was snapped visiting his son Aryan Khan at the Arthur Raod Jail where the latter is lodged with other criminals after his bail plea was rejected by a Special NDPS court on October 20. 

Meanwhile, the Bombay High Court on Thursday posted to October 26 the hearing of the bail application of Aryan Khan, arrested in a drugs case by the Narcotics Control Bureau. The matter came up before Justice N.W. Sambre with Khan's lawyer Satish Maneshinde seeking an urgent hearing on Friday or Monday. However, Justice Sambre decided to take up the matter on Tuesday next, and Khan may have to spend five more days in custody.

 

In the meantime, Bollywood actress Ananya Panday's residence in Mumbai's Bandra was searched by NCB sleuths after her name reportedly appeared in Aryan Khan's WhatsApp chats. Ananya has been summoned to the NCB office at 2 pm today (October 21) in connection with the Mumbai drugs case and her phone has been reportedly seized as of now.
