(UTV |MUMBAI) – Shah Rukh Khan today visited Mumbai’s Arthur Road Jail to meet with his son Aryan Khan, who was denied bail yesterday and has been in jail since October 8 in the drugs-on-cruise case.
This was the first meeting between the superstar and his 23-year-old son, who was arrested after the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) raided a rave party on a cruise ship off Mumbai on October 2.
SRK, 55, met Aryan through a glass wall and spoke to him for around 20 minutes through an intercom in the jail’s meeting hall. His visit followed the Maharashtra government easing restrictions on jail visits amid the pandemic.
Aryan Khan has been denied bail twice. The Bombay High Court will hear his bail request on Tuesday.
He had spoken with his parents, SRK and Gauri Khan, on a video call on Friday.
A special court yesterday denied Aryan Khan bail saying his WhatsApp chats appeared to reveal his involvement in “illicit drug activities”.
“WhatsApp chats prima facie reveals accused Aryan Khan is dealing in illicit drug activities for narcotic substances on regular basis. Therefore, it cannot be said that Khan is not likely to commit similar offence while on bail,” Judge VV Patil said in his order.
