Mumbai, October 15: Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan Khan will remain in the Arthur road jail till next week as the Special NDPS Court in Mumbai has reserved its order on his bail application in the drugs on cruise case.
After hearing extensive arguments of the investigating agency NCB and defense lawyers on Thursday, special judge V V Patil posted the matter for orders on October 20.
The high court and the sessions court is going to remain shut from October 15 to October 19 due to the Dussehra festival and the weekend. Earlier, a magistrate's court had rejected the bail pleas of Aryan Khan, Munmun Dhamecha, and Arbaaz Merchant.
The court's move came after Additional Solicitor General (ASG) Anil Singh stated that Aryan is a regular consumer of drugs for the past few years and granting him bail could hinder the investigation in the case which is in a crucial
stage.

"Aryan Khan is not taking drugs only once... the statement that has been received shows that he used to consume it for the last few years. Drugs have been found from Arbaaz Merchant (Aryan's friend, from whom 6 grams of charas were seized)... Aryan was with him. When the IO (investigating officer) asked if he had drugs, Arbaaz said he had drugs in his shoes... Arbaaz admitted that both (he and Aryan Khan) were going to consume it on the cruise," ASG Anil Singh said.
As result, Aryan was taken to the Arthur Road jail where he has shifted to a normal cell among other prisoners. Aryan Khan has been allotted the Prisoner (Quaidi) number 956 in the Mumbai Central Jail, as per the sources.
