NCB gives clean chit to Aryan Khan
Last month, the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) gave a clean chit to Aryan Khan and 5 others accused in the Cordelia drugs case, stating that the evidence against them was not substantial to press the charges.
The agency, however, added that a complaint was filed against 14 others involved in the case under the NDPS Act provisions. A 6,000-page charge sheet was filed by the anti-drug agency, which included the names of 14 accused after drugs were found on a luxury cruise liner off the Mumbai coast last year.
On October 3, 2021, Aryan Khan, Arbaaz Merchant and other 6 people were detained from a luxury cruise liner during a rave party. As per reports, cocaine and ecstasy pills were found on the accused persons.
The Court had then held that a prima facie case was made out against Khan and other co-accused.
