"My stand seems to have vindicated now. I did support not only Aryan, but also Shah Rukh Khan. He was paying a price for being ¨D Shah Rukh Khan. This action or reaction of the government is certainly highly appreciated. But then, at the same time, I would like to say that it seems to be too little and too late," the actor said.
According to ETimes, Shatrughan Sinha further added, "All the people involved in framing an innocent boy and sending him behind the bars for no rhyme or reason, without any evidence and without any proper investigation must be taken to task with a deterrent punishment. So that in future they might have to think one thousand times before taking such a step.¡±

When Shah Rukh Khan's Son Aryan Khan Was Arrested
In 2021, Bollywood Baadshah Shah Rukh Khan's son was arrested along with his friends, in connection to the Cordelia cruise ship drug raid case.
As per NCB, one of its intelligence officers had been alerted that over ten people participating in an event as guests on the cruise ship were in possession of drugs.
Aryan Khan was detained in Arthur Road jail for almost a month while investigations were ongoing.
Many criticised SRK¡®s son on social media for consuming charas. Shah Rukh Khan had to lose Byjus' 3-4 crores revenue after the education brand stopped all promotional material post his son Aryan Khan's arrest at the time. However, some came in support of the star kid including veteran actor Shatrughan Sinha.
Here's how people reacted after Aryan Khan got a clean chit from NCB:
"It is now admitted that there was no evidence against Aryan Khan Who will bear responsibility for the trauma of the young man?" - Former Finance Minister P. Chidambaram.
"No drugs were found on Aryan Khan, yet he was arrested & accused by NCB of running a drug syndicate!
Here we have thousands of crores of heroin & cocaine being smuggled through Adani's Mundra port; Yet no action by NCB!" - Public Interest Lawyer and Activist Prashant Bhushan.
A family suffered in silence as truth needed time. Tht #AryanKhan is innocent is a victory of faith. Hard work & honesty is @iamsrk's hallmark bt Stardom perhaps had to pay a price & so it did.

Amber Heard wrote ONE op-ed on being a victim of domestic violence without naming JohnnyDepp but clearly hinting at him.He sued her for defamation!

I HOPE @iamsrk has the gumption to sue every media network+anchor who ran hours of slanderous news against Aryan Khan without proof.
Absolutely. I'm also waiting to see each n every one of the media channels to apologise to @iamsrk n his entire family for making life hell for them n their son #AryanKhan.
