Mumbai Drug Bust Case Updates: Aryan Khan has been produced in court (File)

New Delhi:

Aryan Khan, son of movie star Shah Rukh Khan, has been sent to judicial custody by the Magistrate's court in the Mumbai drugs-on-cruise case. His bail plea will be heard at 11 am tomorrow. Aryan Khan was supplied drugs by one of the other men arrested in the cruise ship drug bust, the anti-drugs agency said in court today as it argued against the 23-year-old being given bail. On Monday, he was denied bail after his sensational arrest and was sent to the custody of anti-drugs agency Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) till today by a Mumbai court. 

"Investigation is of prime importance and it needs to be carried out. It benefits both accused and investigator," a judge said while extending the custody of Aryan Khan and seven others.

All eight were arrested on Sunday after the anti-drugs agency went undercover and raided a rave party on Saturday evening on the "Cordelia" cruise sailing from Mumbai to Goa.

The raids produced a haul of 13 grams of cocaine, 21 grams of charas, 22 pills of MDMA and 5 grams of MD, the anti-drugs bureau said. The drugs were found hidden in clothes, underwear and purses, reported news agency Press Trust of India, quoting an unnamed official of the anti-drugs bureau.

Here are the Highlights on Mumbai Drug Bust Case involving Aryan Khan:

"If you cooperate with me, I am here to decide all the bail applications today itself," the court says. "I am opposing the bail application. I'll file a say. The application is not maintainable," the ASG replied.

Order:

"The gist of the ASG's argument is that they require the custody of the accused as they need to confront them with Achit Kumar.

They also say they need to confront them with other accused arrested.

We cannot discuss what took the investigation team so much time to arrest the accused with whom they need to be confronted.

For police custody every detail needs to be pointed out and the same is not reflected in the remand report.

It appears that the investigation is made till the arrest of the other co-accused based on the investigation of Aryan Khan. Investigation is silent on arrest of other accused

Police custody of accused without cogent reason would amount to violation of fundamental rights

Reasons for seeking custody on vague grounds each accused cannot be remanded to police custody.

I am of the view no custodial interrogation is required as sufficient time was given"
