The accused were apprehended by the Narcotics Control Bureau on October 2 after a raid on a cruise ship off the coast of Mumbai. Khan was first put in the anti-drugs agency’s custody, but on October 7, he was transferred to judicial detention for a period of 14 days.
A special court in Mumbai denied him bail on Wednesday. Khan’s WhatsApp discussions, according to the judge, proved that he was engaged in “illicit drug activities for narcotic substances on a regular basis.”
