Son of Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, Aryan Khan, 23, and seven others were put in judicial custody for 14 days on Thursday in a cruise rave party case, as the Metropolitan Magistrate Court denied them bail.
Officials from drug enforcement agency Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) arrested them for allegedly possessing cocaine, mephedrone, and ecstasy. After being held, Aryan was questioned by the officers.
On Thursday, soon after the court’s order, Aryan’s lawyer Satish Maneshinde filed an application for interim bail. The petition is set to be heard on Friday.

The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) sought the custody of Aryan until 11 October, saying it's making progress in the investigation.
While seeking extended custody, the anti-drug agency contended that although no drugs were found on Khan, his WhatsApp chats suggest his involvement with international drug cartels.
Khan and several others were arrested by the NCB on Sunday after it conducted a raid on the "Empress" after a tip-off about a rave party on it. The raid started on Saturday and concluded on Sunday. Officials from the NCB boarded the ship dressed as passengers.
