Special Judge under Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act VV Patil pronounced the verdict today after hearing NCB and the counsel for the only two accused in judicial custody for over two hours on Wednesday.

NCB, on Monday, had filed an application before a Mumbai sessions court seeking an extension of 90 days to file a charge-sheet in an alleged drugs case in which Aryan Khan is an accused, contending probe in the matter was still on.

A Special Investigation Team of NCB was supposed to file the charge-sheet in the case by April. However, the agency filed the application before a court presided over by Judge VV Patil praying it be granted an additional 90 days to file the document since its investigation in the high-profile case was still on.

Aryan Khan was named an accused in the case along with 19 others by NCB last year. The 24-year-old star kid was arrested by the NCB on October 3 following a raid on a cruise ship off the coast of Mumbai.
