The court hearing Aryan Khan case was told by SRK’s Son’s Lawyer that son was “not even on the cruise” raided by anti-drugs officers on October 2. The lawyer argued the allegation of drug trafficking against him is “absurd”, to a Mumbai court hearing the Aryan’s bail request in the drugs-on-cruise case.
Aryan Khan ‘s lawyer Amit Desai, the raids started when he had not even boarded into the cruise and that he had neither used drugs nor was anything found on him.
“The allegation of illicit trafficking is inherently weird . This boy who has nothing, he was not even on the vessel. It is an absurd and false allegation,” he said.
Furthermore, Aryan Khan “had no cash” when he was on the cruise ship so he could not have bought drugs, the lawyer added.
On the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB)’s claim that Aryan Khan had “admitted he was about to use charas that was found on Arbaaz Merchant”, his defence team said the admissions were forced.

“The court knows how people are forced to make these statements,” said Amit Desai, who once represented actor Salman Khan.
No drugs were found on Aryan Khan when the anti-drugs agency’s officers raided a Mumbai cruise ship party in disguise on October 3.
Mr Desai said even though the investigations were meant to be on drugs consumed or bought on the ship, Aryan Khan was dragged into the case.
“I thank the NCB for its cut-paste job. The first remand application did not have the names of the other accused,” said Mr Desai.
