Mumbai: Despite the uproar over the grilling of Ananya Panday by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB), official sources on Friday indicated that there was no sign of any ‘drug-related exchange’ in the alleged WhatsApp chat with Bollywood megastar Shah’s son Aryan Khan. There is no evidence. Rukh Khan.
Sources reluctantly disclosed that there are “no traces or references” to any marijuana (ganja) or weed-related chats in the two Star-Kids WhatsApp communications by NCB.
More likely, Ananya is being questioned by the NCB for her version of the different leads gathered in the case, but officials refuse to elaborate.
The latest disclosure comes in the wake of some unconfirmed media reports which claimed the origin of at least three WhatsApp chats between two star-kids allegedly discussing drugs etc., which the NCB is yet to investigate. Was getting it done.
In addition to the ongoing investigation into the Rave Party raid on a cruise ship on October 2, the NCB ‘visited’ Ananya Pandey’s house and slapped her with a summons.
Taking immediate action on Thursday, Ananya, accompanied by her father and veteran actor Chunky Pandey, went to the NCB and was questioned for more than 2 hours by half a dozen officers, and has been called again on this day (22 October).
The developments came after Special NDPS Court Judge VV Patil extended the judicial custody of Khan and 7 others on October 3 till October 30. Khan’s bail plea will come up before the Bombay High Court on October 26.
Earlier on Thursday, Shah Rukh Khan had met son Aryan at Arthur Road Central Jail, where he spent a few minutes with him, and was later visited by an NCB team at his Bandra bungalow, leaving his tongue twitching.
This prompted Bollywood veteran and 75-year-old TV hostess Simi Garewal to come out in indirect support of Aryan, Ananya and others via a cryptic tweet: “Out of a population of 1,397,642,731 – they only have these 6 or 8 young Bollywood stars.” Target for drugs??
Meanwhile, after apprehending at least 20 people in the cruise ship raid case so far, the NCB has not ruled out making more arrests as the investigation progresses further.
