In his bail plea which will be heard by the Bombay high court on October 26, Shah Rukh Khan's son Aryan Khan has said the Narcotics Control Bureau has misinterpreted his WhatsApp chats to implicate him in the case of seizure of banned drugs, a PTI report said. Aryan Khan moved the high court soon after his bail plea was rejected by the special NDPS court. The details of Aryan Khan's high court plea has now come to the surface.
In his bail plea, Aryan Khan said that the chats that are being relied upon by the NCB are ex-facie (on the face of it) and those chats are from a period prior to the incident. "By no stretch of imagination can those purported messages be linked to any conspiracy for which the secret information was received," it said.
