Mumbai: Manish Rajgadia and Avin Sahu accused in the Mumbai- drug cruise case got bail today. They are the first accused to be granted bail in the case. Manish got bail on an assurity of Rs 50,000 by Special NDPS court.

No drugs were recovered from Avin Sahu, while 2.4 gm weed was recovered from Manish Rajgaria, as per Narcotic Control Bureau’s (NCB) claims. The duo were arrested in connection with the bust of a rave party onboard a cruise off the Mumbai coast. Total of 20 people are arrested in the case.

Today’s hearing

Aryan Khan’s court hearing will continue tomorrow. High Court has adjourned the bail and Aryan Khan will remain in jail for today.

Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) has opposed the bail application of actor Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan Khan in Bombay High Court alleging Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan’s manager Pooja Dadlani “appears to have influenced panch witness when the investigation is ongoing”. The court was hearing bail application filed by Khan’s advocate.

In the 35-page reply, NCB mentioned the affidavit filed by witness Prabhakar Sail and said there were attempts to tamper with the ongoing investigation. It further added that Khan’s bail application was liable to be rejected on the sole ground that there were clear instances of tampering, influencing witnesses in the midst of an ongoing investigation.

The agency said, “Significantly, such purported affidavit names one Pooja Dadlani, Manager connected to this applicant. It so appears that the said lady appears to have influenced such panch witness when the investigation is ongoing. Such interference at the stage of investigation is a malafide attempt to ensure that the same is derailed and the quest of truth is obstructed.”

On October 2, actor Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan Khan was arrested during a raid by NCB. Currently, he is lodged in Mumbai’s Arthur Road jail. His bail plea has been rejected multiple times by the court pertaining opposition by the investigation agency.

Kiran Gosavi the private investigator, who took photo with Aryan Khan in the Mumbai cruise ship raids threw up multiple questions. He told media that he will be surrendering at Lucknow shortly.

“I will surrender in Lucknow with half-an-hour,” the man said to be missing and against whom a lookout notice has been posted, told.

On being questioned that why is he surrendering at Lucknow when the case has been registered at Mumbai, he said that he feels “threatened” in the city.A private investigator, KP Gosavi was apparently present during the cruise ship raid and later at the Narcotics Control Bureau’s office with Aryan Khan. His selfie and videos with Aryan Khan at both places have fueled questions from Maharashtra’s ruling alliance about the anti-drugs agency’s investigation.
