The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) arrested Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan's son Aryan Khan on Sunday at 2 p.m. after interrogating him about the rave party that the agency raided on Saturday night.
He has been arrested in connection with the seizure of 13 grams of Cocaine, five grams of MD, 21 grams of Charas and 22 pills of MDMA and 1.33 lakhs in cash.
Hours after their arrest, Aryan and two others, Munmun Dhamecha and Arbaaz Merchant were arrested and produced before the Esplanade Magistrate Court, amid tight security, late on Sunday and sent to the NCB`s custody for one day till Monday, a prosecution lawyer told media persons.
The others who remain under the NCB`s detention include Nupur Sarika, Ismeet Singh, Mohak Jaswal, Vikrant Chhoker and Gomit Chopra, and it is not clear what course of action the agency will adopt for them.
The legal team of the accused trio, including Aryan Khan`s lawyer Satish Maneshinde, plan to move the Bombay High Court on Monday in the matter.
Earlier, NCB`s Superintendent V.V. Singh, in his arrest memo, said that Aryan Khan was being arrested under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act for his "involvement in the consumption, sale and purchase of contraband" (drugs) along with other known and unknown persons.
Aryan Khan, 23, acknowledged and said that he understood the grounds of his arrest and has informed his family of the same.
