Shah Rukh Khan sends ₹4,500 money order for son Aryan Khan in jail

Aryan Khan, son of Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan has received a money order from his family of ₹4,500. He is currently lodged in Mumbai’s Arthur Road Jail on drug charges. He will have to stay in the general cell there till next Wednesday (October 20). Aryan Khan was arrested on October 3 with seven others after the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) raided an alleged drug party on Cordelia’s cruise off the Mumbai coast.

According to news agency ANI, jail superintendent Nitin Waychal said on Thursday they received the money order of ₹4,500 from Aryan Khan’s family on October 11, which is meant for his expenses in the jail canteen. A prisoner can receive a money order of a maximum of ₹4500 for their expenses inside the jail under the rules.

Aryan Khan will have to stay in jail for at least five more days after the special Narcotics Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) court judge VV Patil said he would pronounce his order on October 20.

Aryan Khan’s first hearing for bail plea was held on October 4. However, the court then sent Khan and others to the NCB custody till October 7.

On October 7, the Mumbai court sent Aryan Khan to 14-day judicial custody. Aryan Khand was sent to Arthur Road prison on October 8. Since then, Aryan Khan has been in jail. As per the media reports, Aryan Khan has not been eating well in the jail and was only surviving on biscuits and water. Reportedly, Aryan Khan was avoiding using the washroom due to hygiene issues.

A total of 20 people, including two Nigerian nationals, have been arrested so far in the case related to the seizure of drugs following a raid at a party on the Cordelia cruise ship.

Investigators believe that Shah Rukh’s son played the same role as the rest of the detainees from that party. That’s why Arian’s bail was opposed by investigators’ lawyers on Wednesday. On the other hand, Shah Rukh’s appointed lawyer claimed that even if conditional bail was granted, the investigation would not be affected. The issue of Sushant Singh Rajput’s case also came up during the hearing.
