Aryan Khan Bail Application Highlights: The Bombay High Court will continue to hear the bail plea filed by actor Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan Khan, who was arrested earlier this month in the cruise drugs seizure case, tomorrow. On Tuesday, the Narcotics Control Bureau opposed Khan’s bail plea alleging the 23-year-old was not just a consumer of drugs, but also involved in illicit drug trafficking. The agency also claimed that Aryan Khan and a woman named Pooja Dadlani, Shah Rukh Khan’s manager, were tampering with the evidence and witnesses in the case in an attempt to derail the investigation.
On the other side, Aryan Khan’s advocates submitted to the HC an additional note, stating that he has nothing to do with the allegations and counter allegations that are being circulated between the NCB’s zonal director Sameer Wankhede and certain political personalities.

Mumbai BJP writes to Maharashtra Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari, seeking his intervention into the matter of "baseless allegations" being levelled by State Minister Nawab Malik against NCB & its officer Sameer Wankhede in the drugs-on-cruise case
The Bombay High Court on Wednesday refused to grant an urgent hearing to a PIL that sought directions to Maharashtra minister and NCP leader Nawab Malik to refrain from making any comments against the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB), in light of the drugs case in which actor Shah Rukh Khan's son Aryan Khan is an accused.
Mumbai Police appoints an ACP-level officer to investigate the allegations levelled against NCB Zonal Director Sameer Wankhede. All the complaints received against Wankhede will be probed by the officer. Four Police stations in Mumabai have received such complaints so far.
BJP's Amit Malviya attacked NCP’s Nawab Malik for targeting the NCB and Sameer Wankhade. Malviya said that Malik is targeting Wankhade because the agency had arrested Sameer Khan, Malik’s son-in-law, in a drugs case.

Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray would write a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the portrayal of Bollywood in a bad light in the wake of recent raids by the NCB which could affect the livelihood of the people dependent on that industry, NCP leader and minister Nawab Malik said on Tuesday.
Mumbai police have begun a preliminary inquiry into the bribery allegations made by Prabhakar Sail, an independent witness in the drugs-on-cruise case. The police recorded Sail’s statement late Tuesday evening. He has been summoned to the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) office on Wednesday at 12 noon.
In a development related to the cruise drugs case, a special NDPS Act court on Tuesday granted bail to two accused arrested in the case - Manish Rajgaria and Avin Sahu. They are the only accused who have been granted bail so far in the much publicized case, in which 20 people, including Aryan Khan, were arrested since the alleged seizure of drugs on a cruise ship off the Mumbai coast early this month.
