The suspects in the Mumbai cruise raid, Aryan Khan, Munmun Dhamecha, Arbaaz Merchantt, and others, were presented in a Mumbai court today for their bail requests.
The bail applications for Aryan Khan and others were denied by the court on Friday, noting that they were non-maintainable.
During the remand hearing on Thursday, Aryan Khan and others who were caught in the NCB cruise raid were sentenced to 14 days in judicial custody. Aryan Khan was sent to the Arthur Road jail with the other suspects, while the women were brought to the Byculla Jail.
I’m Not Going to Abscond: Aryan Khan in Cruise Ship Case
Maneshinde read Aryan Khan’s statement, “I am a 23 year old with no prior antecedents. I happen to be from Bollywood.. I went on an invitation, refused when asked if I have drugs.” He added that data from Aryan’s mobile has been sent for forensic investigation.
Advocate Maneshinde further stated, “I (Aryan Khan) have parents and a family here. I have an Indian passport and I am not going to abscond. There is no question of tampering.”
Arbaaz Merchantt’s lawyer, advocate Sayed, informed the Court that they’ve requested for the CCTV footage. In his bail plea, Arbaaz Merchantt alleged that the contraband allegedly seized from him was “planted by the NCB.”
Advocate Kashiff, for Munmun Dhamecha, claims that she has no association with Aryan Khan and Arbaaz, and the NCB hasn’t been able to prove any either. Kashiff claims that the alleged contraband was found on the floor and there were two others in the room with Munmun, asks why they weren’t arrested.
Advocate Sayed sought a bail with conditions while advocate Kashiff sought interim and regular bail.
