Shah Rukh Khan’s 23-year-old son Aryan Khan was booked on Saturday in a rave party case.
As per details, Aryan may be able to avoid any major punishment after being arrested, following a drugs raid.
According to Indian media outlets, a senior lawyer weighed in on the Bollywood actor’s chances with the law and revealed that since the drugs he had in possession were in small quantity, his offense is predicted to be bailable.
“The accused is alleged to be a member in the rave party from where some contraband was found in violation to provisions of NDPS Act. It appears that the quantity allegedly attributed to him for personal consumption is small quantity and not commercial quantity and therefore the offense will be bailable,” senior lawyer Maeed Memon said.
Earlier, Aryan was taken into custody after the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) conducted a raid at a party being held on a cruise ship off the Mumbai coast on Saturday night.
According to India Today, the officials of NCB questioned Aryan in the drug bust case.
