“Bombay High Court has granted bail to Aryan Khan, Arbaz Merchant, Munmun Dhamecha after hearing the arguments for three days. The detailed order will be given tomorrow. Hopefully, they all will come out of the jail by tomorrow or Saturday,” Former Attorney General Mukul Rohatgi, who represented Aryan Khan, said.
Aryan Khan, 23, was arrested on October 3 along with several others during a raid by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) on Cordelia Cruises’ Empress ship off the Mumbai coast. His bail application was earlier rejected by both the magistrate court and the special NDPS court.
Aryan Khan has been lodged in Mumbai’s Arthur Road jail since October 8.
