Aryan Khan, son of movie star Shah Rukh Khan, was denied bail and will be kept in NCB custody till 7th October.
On 4 October a bail hearing was held at a Mumbai court to decide whether or not to give bail to Aryan Khan, son of movie star Shah Rukh Khan, who had been arrested in the Mumbai drugs-on-cruise case.
Aryan Khan's parents Shah Rukh and Gauri Khan did not attend the bail hearing.

Interestingly, Wankhede is the same person who had investigated the drug scandal related to Sushant Singh Rajput and his girlfriend Rhea Chakraborty. Wankhede is married to popular Marathi actress Kranti Redkar who has appeared with Ajay Devgn in his film gangajal. Many say that Wankhede is very determined to catch Bollywood celebrities who are doing drugs and now he is investigating Aryan Khan.
