The 23-year-old son of Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan, and seven others were arrested by the NCB after busting a drugs party on the Cordelia Cruise ship which was on its way to Goa at mid-sea on Saturday night. Mumbai Esplanade court on Monday denied the petition of the apprehended that opposed the extension of NCB custody, and sent them in remand till October 7.
The court had accepted the plea by NCB that Khan and his friend’s further custody is needed for collecting more evidences, after the seizure of drugs from the rave party. The NCB had presented WhatsApp chats, where discussions were held about cash transactions involving drugs, and stated that ‘shocking and incriminating’ evidences on international drug trafficking, were retrieved from the cell phones of the accused.
