Aryan Khan’s WhatsApp chat shows involvement in drug trafficking: NCB

Mumbai: Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) claimed that old WhatsApp chat of Shah Rukh Khan's son Aryan Khan revealed his involvement in procurement and distribution of drugs, Indian media reported.

The drugs-on-cruise case took a new turn after NCB claimed that Bollywood superstar’s son was indulged in illicit drug trafficking.

Aryan Khan’s defence team, however, argued that he was "not present" during the drugs-on-ship raid, had no cash to buy drugs and didn't have drugs on him. 

Aryan Khan has been in a Mumbai jail since Friday and his bail request would be taken up today. 

The anti-drugs agency in a statement said, "WhatsApp chats reveal the accused was in touch with a foreign national for bulk quantity of hard drugs”.

The probe so far has revealed his role in the conspiracy, added NCB.

The 23-year-old was arrested along with his friend Arbaaz Merchant and six others after the drugs raid on the cruise on October 2.

On the other hand, Aryan's parents Shah Rukh Khan and Gauri Khan have not spoken on his arrest and the allegations so far.
