Bollywood superstar, Shah Rukh Khan's son, Aryan Khan, was detained by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) and was denied bail on October 7, 2021. After the hearing went too long and ended at odd hours, the court sent all the eight accused in the cruise rave party case to judicial custody for 14 days. All the eight accused had spent the night at NCB's office because their RT-PCR tests were not done at that time.
However, as per reports, Aryan Khan is likely to be granted bail by the court on October 8, 2021, as the NCB found no drugs from him. According to reports, ten people and six organisers are in the NCB's custody, who had planned the party on the Cordelia Cruises' Empress ship. Aryan and two other accused, Arbaaz Merchant and Munmun Dhamecha, were sent under NCB custody till October 7, 2021.

According to reports, Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) has opposed Aryan Khan's bail plea, as they've filed a remand extension plea in court. In a reaction to NCB's plea, Aryan's lawyer, Satish Maneshinde has clearly stated that his client (Aryan) was invited to the cruise party by a person connected to the film industry, just to add some 'glamour'. Satish also added that Aryan had entered the party as a 'VVIP' guest. He stated, "A person connected with Bollywood wanted to add glamour to the cruise and hence invited him."
Going further in the statement, Satish Maneshinde also added that his client, Aryan Khan has no connection, bond, or even knowledge about the organisers of the cruise party. He explained in his statement, "I (Aryan) am nowhere connected with any other person in cruise, or other arrested accused. I have no connection with the organisers or the other arrested accused."

However, Aryan Khan's lawyer, Satish Maneshinde, accepted that his client knows Arbaaz Merchant and added that detaining his client just to know a person merely is utterly unconvincing. Satish said, "He (Merchant) is my friend, I'm not denying that. But mere knowledge of a person is not enough to keep me in custody."
Talking about the other side of the story, NCB, in their statement to the court, had stated that they want to exceed Aryan Khan's custody to confront him with another accused, Archit Kumar, after they got access to their WhatsApp chats. However, Aryan's lawyer, Satish Maneshinde, has also reacted to it by saying that the chats on the basis of which NCB wants the court to deny his client's bail are nothing but discussions about playing football. He said, "Achit and I (Aryan) have discussed football about a year back." And Satish added, "football doesn't contain any drugs".
