Aryan Khan and other accused were produced before a Mumbai court on Monday where the court extended the remand custody of the three till 7 October, stating that the investigation is of "prime importance" in this case. Advocate Satish Maneshinde represents Aryan Khan while Additional Solicitor General Anil Singh represents the NCB. It is NCB sought custody till 11 October.



During the hearing in the court, NCB alleged that there were 'links' found in Aryan Khan's WhatsApp chats that point to an existence of an 'international racket', according to the quint from the report by Live Law. ASG Anil Singh told that there are 8 accused related to the ship and also told the Court that the NCB had procured a commercial quantity of drugs when the ninth accused, a supplier from Mumbai's Juhu, was arrested.

Mr. Singh also alleged that Aryan was discussing the modes of payment and code names were used. He further told the Court that all offenses under the NDPS Act are non-bailable citing previous Bombay High Court judgments, including Rhea Chakraborty's bail order. He sought remand custody till October 11 to track the financing and to unearth the nexus.

Meanwhile, Aryan Khan claimed that he did not pay anything for the party and went there with his friend on the invitation from the organizers, as per a statement read by Khan's Lawyer Satish Maneshinde. He also claimed that nothing was found on him after his bag was searched by the NCB.

Maneshinde recalled a judgment to show that commercial quantity found in one accused can't be used to incriminate another. A Supreme Court ruling was also referred to argue that WhatsApp chats cannot be used to incriminate an accused. He also argued against Aryan's remand by stating, "Mere chatting on the phone without corroboration doesn't make an offense".
