New Delhi: Aryan Khan, son of movie star Shah Rukh Khan, has been denied bail in the and will be spending the weekend in prison. He was sent to judicial custody by the Magistrate's court yesterday. 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 yesterday 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 yesterday by a Mumbai court.
Aryan Khan has been kept in the quarantine cell of Mumbai's Arthur Road jail. The women were taken to Byculla jail. All the eight accused, including Aryan Khan, have tested negative for COVID-19. But as per the new jail guidelines, new accused should be kept in the quarantine cell for seven days.
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.

Aryan Khan Bail Hearing
The Magistrate court has ruled "non-maintainability" because there are seizures (drugs) in the case (though not from Aryan Khan but from others). Hence, the case can be tried under the Sessions court. While Aryan Khan's lawyer said that nothing has been seized from him but the NCB, citing Rhea Chakraborty's case, argued that the accused cannot be bifurcated based on seizure and no-seizure in a single case.

Aryan Khan Bail Hearing: Bail Will Hamper Probe, Says Additional Solicitor General
Additional Solicitor General: Here is a case where there is an involvement of 17 persons. Their connections, involvement, etc is there and investigation is at a preliminary stage. There will be interfering with witnesses. They are influential persons. There is a chance of tampering with evidence. Had it been one person found with small quantity it would be different . We have got a lot of material during investigation. Protection like bail at this stage will hamper the investigation.
