Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan's son Aryan Khan, who was arrested in a drugs case involving a rave party in a cruise ship, is no longer in the custody of the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB), but has been lodged in jail for 14 days, as per reports. 

Similar orders were given for the seven others who were accused, including his friend Arbaaz Merchant. Shortly after, Aryan's lawyer moved a petition for bail, which will be held today (October 8). 

Aryan and the others who were accused, however, were at the offices of the drugs control agency for the night, since the transfer hours for the jail were over and the mandatory Covid tests were not done.

Aryan was arrested on October 3 after a raid on a cruise ship going from Mumbai to Goa. A total of 16 people have been arrested so far -- including those that helped organise the event.

Though no drugs was found on him, the NCB -- while seeking an extension of his custody -- had made the case that his WhatsApp chats suggested involvement of international drug cartels and need deeper scrutiny.

Aryan's lawyer Satish Manshinde had made the case that no drugs were found on him and he cannot be held responsible for the seizures made from others. But Additional Solicitor General Anil Singh had argued that the case "has to be looked at in its entirety".

Aryan also contended that his WhatsApp chats did not contain anything incriminating.
