New Delhi: Superstar Shah Rukh Khan's son Aryan Khan was arrested by Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) on Sunday (Oct 3) in a drugs raid case along with two others - Arbaaz Seth Merchant and Munmun Dhamecha.

Here's the arrest memo for his case:

It has also come to light that one of the accused was carrying a banned substance (cocaine) hidden in an eye lens cover as per our sources.

According to a PTI report, Advait Sethna, the advocate for the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) wanted the accused in custody for two days on the ground that the investigation is at a nascent stage and more raids were being carried out to get to the drug suppliers.

Star kid Aryan Khan's lawyer Satish Maneshinde stated, "No incriminating material has been recovered from him (Aryan). There is no possession or evidence of consumption."

He further said that he will be filing a bail application for Aryan on Monday (Oct 5). 

Maneshinde said he would file an application seeking bail for Aryan Khan on Monday.

"Although the sections under which he (Aryan) has been booked are all bailable offences. I am willing to settle for a one-day NCB custody so that we can file for bail before the regular court," he said as quoted by PTI.
