The NCB has accused Aryan Khan and his companions, Arbaaz Merchant and Munmun Dhamecha, who have also been arrested with him, of being a part of a international drug trafficking racket.

"I have shown the Whatsapp chat, and in this Whatsapp chat, there is a specific referring of bulk quantity (of drugs). There are other Whatsapp chats I don't want to reveal in the open court but there is an exchange of foreign transactions which refers to hard drugs. The chats, if see minutely, it will be known why the investigation is important and releasing these accused will influence the probe in the case," ASG Anil Singh argued.
