Satish Maneshinde shares significant turning points in Aryan Khan's drug case
After Bombay High Court on Thursday (October 28) granted bail to Aryan Khan in the Mumbai cruise drugs seizure case, his lawyer Satish Maneshinde said that there was no evidence against the star kid. He was wrongly arrested. In an exclusive interview with India TV, Aryan's lawyer Maneshinde said that there was no recovery of drugs from Aryan, nor any medical test was conducted. The bail should have been granted at the first place only. Magistrate should have granted bail to Shah Rukh Khan's son but it didn't. Since, Aryan's bail was earlier denied twice, both by a Mumbai magistrate court and special NDPS court, "we approached High Court".
Lawyer Maneshinde said that NCB framed Aryan Khan in an 'illegal' way as there was no evidence against him. He shouldn't have been kept in the judicial custody for this long. When asked the reason for the same, Maneshinde said "even I want to know why Aryan Khan was kept in custody for 27 days when there was no evidence against him. We are waiting for court's order tomorrow." For the unversed, since October 8, Aryan Khan has been in Mumbai's Arthur Road jail and was briefly in the custody of the NCB before that.
