Actor Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan Khan has told the Bombay High Court in his bail petition that the Narcotics Control Bureau is misinterpreting his WhatsApp chats to implicate him in the Mumbai cruise ship drugs case, Bar and Bench reported.
Khan approached the High Court after a special court in Mumbai denied him bail on Wednesday. The High Court will hear his petition on October 26.
Khan argued that the interpretation of the WhatsApp chats recovered from his phone was wrong and unjustified.
Earlier, Additional Solicitor General Anil Singh, appearing for the Narcotics Control Bureau, had asked a special court in Mumbai to take note of a message seen on Khan’s phone in which he and his friend planned to “have a blast”, according to Live Law.
In the bail petition, Khan said that the WhatsApp chats that the Narcotics Control Bureau had highlighted were “ex-facie [on the face of it] of a period prior to the incident” and cannot be linked to any conspiracy, PTI reported.
“The interpretation of the WhatsApp messages is that of the investigating officer and such interpretation is unjustified and wrong,” the 23-year-old’s petition said.
Khan also argued that his arrest memo did not contain any allegation of being part of a conspiracy, and that the charge was added when the anti-drugs agency sought his remand.
