Mr Malik added in his post that the case was “pre-planned but a selfie released in public domain failed the plan”. The NCP leader was referring to a selfie of Aryan Khan with K C Gosavi, a private investigator and one of the witnesses in the case. His selfies and videos with Aryan Khan at the NCB office indicated that he had easy access to the superstar’s son and fueled questions about the NCB’s investigation. Later, a man claiming to be his bodyguard alleged that Mr Gosavi and one Sam D’Souza had discussed payoffs in the case, kicking up a fresh row that put NCB zonal director Wankhede in a spot.” Malik also wrote in his post “The Farjiwada now stands exposed,” Mr Malik said in his fresh attack on the anti-drugs agency’s probe.

The minister has consistently accused the anti-drugs agency, particularly its zonal director Sameer Wankhede, of foisting false charges against Aryan Khan and others in the drugs-on-cruise case. In his latest blow, Mr Malik used pointers from the high court’s order to target the agency’s probe.

In the bail order released , the court has noted that it found no evidence of a conspiracy between Aryan Khan, Arbaaz Merchant, and Munmun Dhamecha to commit drug-related offences. It also said there was nothing objectionable in the WhatsApp chats between them.

“There is hardly any positive evidence on record to convince this Court that all the accused persons with common intention agreed to commit unlawful act,” the order read.

Aryan Khan was granted bail three weeks after his arrest in the drugs-on-cruise case. Arbaaz Merchant and model Munmun Dhamecha have also been granted bail.
