 "'Premature': NCB denies reports of lack of evidence against Aryan Khan in drug case")
Mumbai: The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) on Wednesday called as speculation the reports of non-availability of evidence against Aryan Khan in the Cordelia cruise ship drug case.
Sanjay Singh, who is also the chief of the Special Investigation Team (SIT) on Aryan Khan’s case, said, “As far as the media reports on non-availability of evidence against Aryan Khan are concerned, these are not true and are just speculations and nothing else. These statements were not cross-checked with NCB before being published. The investigation is not yet complete and it is premature to say anything at this stage.”
Earlier today, Singh had told ANI that it is highly premature to say that there is no evidence against Aryan Khan in the Cordelia cruise ship drug case.
Singh’s statement came after the reports of no evidence against Aryan Khan in the Cordelia cruise ship drug case surfaced.
“Highly premature to say that there’s no evidence against Aryan Khan, Probe still in progress; recorded multiple statements. Have not reached any conclusion yet,” Singh told ANI.
Earlier in December, the Bombay High Court relieved Aryan Khan, who was arrested in the drugs-on-cruise case, from appearing before Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) every week. However, the court had directed him to appear before Delhi’s Special Investigation Team (SIT) whenever summoned.
Aryan Khan, along with other accused Arbaaz Merchant and Munmun Dhamecha, was granted bail by the High Court on October 28 in the drugs-on-cruise case.
An NCB team had busted an alleged drugs party on the Cordelia Cruise ship which was on its way to Goa at mid-sea on October 2 night. Eight persons were detained for questioning by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) in connection with the case.
