To a question if she said something on the WhatsApp chats with Aryan Khan, son of Superstar Shahrukh Khan, in context with the sharing the numbers of drug peddlers, he said, “I have no such information as of now.”
Earlier in the day, a senior NCB officer related to the probe has told The New Indian that the “drug law enforcement agency has not found chats of Ananya Panday and Aryan Khan discussing ganja”.
Ananya Panday was questioned by the NCB on Thursday for over two hours.
Shahrukh Khan’s bodyguard also came to the NCB office today to submit some documents with the drug law enforcement agency.
Ananya Panday was served summons by the NCB officials on Thursday afternoon.
Aryan Khan was arrested by the NCB along with seven others on October 3, after the drug law enforcement agency raided a luxury cruise ship.
A Special court has rejected the bail plea of the star kid and seven others and extended their judicial custody till October 30. The application was rejected by the NCB on Wednesday stating that if released on bail they can “tamper with evidence” or “commit similar offence while on bail”.
The Special NDPS court in its order on Wednesday also stated that this is “not the first time” Aryan Khan is “involved in illicit drug activities”.
It said, “There is ample evidence in the form of WhatsApp chats of accused no. 1 (Aryan Khan) with foreign nationals and unknown persons dealing in drugs. There is reference to hard drugs and bulk quantities in WhatsApp chats which cannot be meant for consumption, with unknown persons who are suspected to be part of an international drug racket.”
Besides Aryan Khan, the NDPS court also rejected the bail application of Arbaaz Merchant and Munmun Dhamecha on Wednesday.
On Thursday, Shah Rukh Khan went to Arthur Road prison to meet his son. He spent over 20 minutes with him after getting permission from the jail authorities.
Several Bollywood personalities have shown support to King Khan after the arrest of his son on October 3.
