Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan’s son has been granted bail 26 days after he was arrested for allegedly doing recreational drugs at a party.
Aryan Khan, 23, was taken off a cruise ship that was on its way from Mumbai city to the state of Goa on 2 October.
The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) charged him under laws “related to possession, consumption and sale of illegal substances”.
He has denied the allegations against him.
His lawyer has repeatedly told the court that no drugs were found in the possession of the actor’s son, and that there was “no evidence that he had consumed any drugs”.
Aryan Khan’s lawyers approached the Mumbai High Court after a special court that hears narcotics cases rejected his bail twice in October. The special court also rejected the bail pleas of two others accused in the case.
The high court heard the matter for over two days as both sides presented their arguments.
