An India Today report claims that sources within the NCB state that the agency will "fight hard" to keep Aryan in jail. Apart from Aryan Khan, co-accused Arbaaz Merchantt and Munmun Dhamecha will be facing the same fate as him.?
In Thursday's hearing, The Narcotics Control Bureau or NCB told the court today that it needs to keep Aryan Khan in custody to cross-examine him in detail along with Achit Kumar, who, it claims, supplied drugs to Aryan Khan.?
Defending Aryan Khan, his lawyer Maneshinde argued: "How long does it take them to download the chats? The chats are about football, and football does not contain any drugs."?Aryan Khan was invited to the cruise ship to 'add glamour,' said the lawyer.??
Aryan was on the cruise as a 'VVIP guest' and 'a person connected with Bollywood wanted to add glamour to the cruise and hence invited him', his lawyer Satish Maneshinde claimed.
