The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) has detained 8 people, including Shahrukh Khan's son Aryan, in connection with the high-profile drugs party in Mumbai. Including 3 girls. Everyone is being questioned. According to sources, Aryan can also be arrested if there is strong evidence of taking drugs against him.

Although it is not clear whether he had taken drugs or not. NCB has called the organizers of the rave party for questioning. He will have to appear before the NCB by 11 pm tonight.
Bollywood actor Sunil Shetty has given a statement on the drugs party case. He said that whenever there is a raid, many people are taken into custody. We are already assuming that a child may have taken drugs. The investigation process is still on. Give that child some time.
NCB chief SN Pradhan said that after two weeks of investigation, we were able to do this raid. In this, links of many people of Bollywood have come to the fore. We are taking action in a fair manner. If any connection with Bollywood or rich people comes to the fore in this process, then let it come. We will work within the ambit of the law.
Based on the information we get from those who have been detained, we will conduct further raids. In the last year, we have done more than 300 raids in Mumbai itself. These raids will continue, whether foreigners, film industry people, or rich people are involved in it. Our goal is to make the country drug-free.
