In a statement, advocate Satish Maneshinde, who represented Aryan Khan in Court and the rest of the legal team said, “Aryan Shah Rukh Khan has ultimately been released on bail by the HC. No possession, no evidence, no consumption, no conspiracy, right from the first moment when he was detained on 2nd Oct 2021. Nor is there anything as of now. We are grateful to Almighty that our prayers were accepted by Mr Justice Nitin Sambre and granted bail to Aryan. Satya Meva Jayate.”
During the hearing, NCB argued that WhatsApp chats found on Aryan Khan indicated to a ‘bulk quantity’ of drugs. The agency also argued that Aryan should be charged with ‘conscious possession’.
