Aryan Khan walks out of jail

 

 

 

ARYAN Khan, son of Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, walked out of the Arthur Road prison, after spending 22 days in the central Mumbai facility following his arrest during a drug raid on a cruise ship off the city coast. The 23-year-old, arrested on October 3 by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB), walked out of the prison, his ‘home’ since October 8, at 11 am and got into a waiting car, which reached his actual home Mannat in suburban Bandra shortly after 11.30 am. Half an hour before Aryan came out, his father’s bodyguard got down from a white Range Rover car waiting outside the prison and stood near the facility’s gate. He was seen speaking to policemen posted there. Around 11 am, the car started moving slowly near the prison’s gate and stopped to receive Aryan.

 

The Range Rover was part of the convoy which left Mannat shortly after 8 am and reached a spot in near the prison around 9 am, where it halted to avoid a traffic jam in the area, an official said. A large crowd of Shah Rukh Khan’s fans had gathered outside the prison since early morning. A sizeable media contingent was also present to cover Aryan’s release from the jail. Outside the prison, fans and onlookers cheering for Shah Rukh Khan and Aryan and trying to catch a glimpse of the superstar were in for a disappointment as they could not see the actor’s face and had to assume that he was in the vehicle. Outside Mannat, fans across all ages, children, college students and even elderly couple, had showed up to celebrate Aryan’s homecoming.

 

The lane to Mannat’s entrance was jam-packed with crowds. Police and Shah Rukh Khan’s private security had to clear the area for Aryan’s car to move smoothly. Bail to 9 more accused in cruise drug case: A SPECIAL court here on Saturday granted bail to alleged drug peddler Aachit Kumar and eight others who were arrested by the NCB following a raid on a cruise ship off the Mumbai coast and seizure of drugs.
