A Mumbai-based businessman claimed on Saturday that he was privy to how Aryan Khan, actor Shah Rukh Khan’s son, was “framed up” in the NCB’s alleged drug bust on a cruise ship off the Mumbai coast. Aryan (23), who got bail from the high court after spending three weeks in prison following his arrest on October 3, was implicated by some people to make money, businessman Vijay Pagare told Marathi news channels.
It was a pre-planned raid, he said, further claiming that he knew the people involved in this episode, including an NCB witness whose selfie with Aryan had gone vial.
Earlier, Prabhakar Sail, an independent witness used by the NCB, had alleged that some officials of the Narcotics Control Bureau had tried to extort money for letting off Aryan. The NCB has already launched an inquiry into the allegations.
Aryan also marked his presence in front of NCB on Friday as a condition to his release on bail. He reached the NCB office at Ballard Estate in south Mumbai around 12.15 pm. The 23-year-old son of the Bollywood superstar was arrested by the NCB on October 3 following a raid on the cruise ship off the Mumbai coast. The central agency had booked him under relevant sections of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act for possession, consumption, sale/purchase of banned drugs and conspiracy and abetment.
