Accused Woman Carried Drugs In Sanitary Pads On Raided Cordelia Cruise Ship On Way To Goa

A woman, accused in the Mumbai cruise ship drugs case, had carried drugs to the ship by concealing it in a sanitary napkin, the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) said.

The anti-drugs agency has summoned film producer Imtiaz Khatri in connection with the drugs-on-cruise case and asked him to appear before the agency on October 11.

Recent reports say that the NCB is also questioning the driver of actor Shah Rukh Khan's son Aryan Khan, who was arrested in connection with a drug seizure on a cruise ship off the Mumbai coast.

The narcotics control agency on Saturday arrested a drug peddler following questioning in the drugs-on-cruise case, taking the number of total arrests in the case to 19.

An NCB team busted an alleged drugs party on the Cordelia Cruise ship which was on its way to Goa at mid-sea on October 2.

A Mumbai Magistrate court had on Thursday sent Aryan Khan and seven others to judicial custody for 14 days.

Satish Maneshinde, the lawyer arguing in defence of Aryan Khan, had earlier said in the court, "Accused number 1, Aryan Khan was invited for the cruise party. However, he did not have a boarding pass. He didn't have any seats or cabins there. Secondly, according to the seizure, nothing has been found in his possession. He is arrested only based on chats."
