Drugs case: Aryan Khan, others to be produced before Esplanade Court for bail hearing today

Aryan Khan, the son of Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan will be produced before the Esplanade Court, today, October 7 for his bail hearing in the ongoing cruise ship drugs case.
The star kid, along with his friend Arbaaz Merchant and others arrested, including Munmun Dhamecha will be produced before the Magistrate at 2.30 pm as the Narcotics Control Bureau's extended custody comes to an end today.
According to a report on Times Now, the central agency, that initially wanted custody of seven till October 11, are now likely to seek extended custody after the arrest of a foreign national drug supplier.

According to the report, the NCB arrested a foreign national from Bandra late Wednesday night and recovered a commercial quantity of mephedrone (MD) from him.
The man in question was reportedly found in an area that was in close proximity to both Aryan and his friend, Arbaaz Merchant. In the light of these new findings, it has been reported that the central agency may just ask to extend the custody citing a probable international drug link.

Aryan, Arbaaz and Munmun have been charged with sections 8(c) read with sections 20b, 27, 28, 29 and 35 under the NDPS Act.
Aryan, 23, was first sent into NCB’s custody for one day and then, on Monday, October 4, his custody was extended to October 7. The period ends today.

Senior counsel Satish Maneshinde will be representing Khan in his bail hearing today.
