Kiran Gosavi, the private investigator whose photos and videos with Shah Rukh Khan's son Aryan Khan in the Mumbai cruise ship raids threw up multiple questions, has told NDTV that he will surrender shortly in Lucknow. "I will surrender in Lucknow with half-an-hour," the man said to be missing and against whom a lookout notice has been posted, told NDTV.
Asked why he was surrendering in Lucknow when the case has been filed in Mumbai, KP Gosavi told NDTV that he feels "threatened" in the city.
A private investigator, KP Gosavi was apparently present during the cruise ship raid and later at the NCB office with Aryan Khan. His selfie and videos with Aryan Khan at both places have fueled questions from Maharashtra's ruling alliance about the anti-drugs agency's investigation.
Meanwhile, Sameer Wankhede, the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) officer leading the probe into the drugs case involving Shah Rukh Khan's son, Aryan Khan, reached Delhi today evening but denied that he had been summoned by any agency.
At the airport, where he was surrounded by reporters, Mr Wankhede said he was in the national capital for some work and added that he stands by the investigation into the drugs case.
Aryan Khan, son of superstar Shah Rukh Khan, was arrested following a drugs raid on a cruise ship party on October 2 and has been in jail since October 8. On Wednesday he moved the high court after a special court rejected his application for bail. The high court will hear his bail plea on October 26.
Here are the Highlights on Aryan Khan's Case:
Bollywood actor Ananya Panday who was to be questioned today by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) for the third time after she was grilled for several hours last week, has skipped the summons.
Sameer Wankhede - the NCB officer leading the Aryan Khan drugs case - has an "impeccable service record", the agency said in response to a Rs 8 crore payoff claim and a tweet by NCP leader Nawab Malik alleging forgery linked to a birth document.
A "wait and watch" tweet by Shiv Sena's Sanjay Raut today hinted at more revelations in the Aryan Khan drugs-on-cruise case.

Two affidavits have been filed in the case. One by NCB and one by Wankhede.
Prabhakar Sail - a witness in the drug case involving Aryan Khan - has turned 'hostile', the Narcotics Control Bureau told a special court in Mumbai this morning, a day after Mr Sail made sensational claims about ₹ 8 crore payoffs to agency official Sameer Wankhede.
A counter-affidavit filed by the NCB at the NDPS (Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act) court have indicated that the affidavit filed by Mr Sail yesterday shows he has turned hostile.
A second affidavit has been filed on behalf of Mr Wankhede in his personal capacity.

A witness of the Narcotics Control Bureau in the cruise ship case - in which Shah Rukh Khan's son Aryan Khan is arrested - has made claims of payoffs to agency officer Sameer Wankhede. Mr Wankhede has told the Mumbai police that he is being framed.
Ananya Panday was reportedly questioned by NCB officer Sameer Wankhede - he's leading the cruise investigation - on chats that appeared to indicate that she helped Aryan Khan procure weed, say NCB sources. The sources said her answers on Friday were not satisfactory, so she would be questioned again on Monday.
