Shah Rukh Khan's son Aryan was denied bail by a Mumbai court in a drugs case on Monday. The 23-year-old, along with friend Arbaaz Merchant and fashion designer Munmun Dhamecha, was sent to Narcotics Control Bureau's custody till October 7. During arguments in court, the NCB claimed that Aryan's WhatsApp chats had code words for talking to drug peddlers. Meanwhile, the lawyer of the star kid claimed that there was no material evidence against his client, and the drugs agency can't seek custody based on WhatsApp chats. Actor Rhea Chakraborty's drugs case was also cited in court during arguments on bail in a non-bailable offence. Aryan was arrested after an NCB raid on an alleged rave party aboard a cruise ship off the Mumbai coast on October 2 night. Watch the full video for more.
