Aryan Khan, the son of superstar Shah Rukh Khan and Gauri Khan, remains imprisoned. On Wednesday, October 20th, the celebrity kid’s bail order will be heard. While we wait for more developments on that front, a top Shiv Sena leader is said to have petitioned India’s Supreme Court for a judicial inquiry into the affairs of the Mumbai-based Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) and its officers.

According to sources, the appeal also seeks for the protection of Aryan Khan’s fundamental rights, who has been charged by the NCB under several parts of the NDPS Act. Kishore Tiwari, a Shiva Sena leader who has been designated as a Minister of State (MoS), has filed a petition under Article 32.
The plea filed by Mumbai-based Shiv Sena leader Kishore Tiwari read, “I would like to point out towards the malafide style, approach and dirty vendetta affairs of NCB at Mumbai and it’s officials targeting select film celebrity & few models since last two years and would like to request Your Honour to order to institute special judicial investigation & enquiry to unearth the role of NCB official.”

The accused was also subjected to great humiliation and was held in detention in an undemocratic and illegal manner for 17 nights, according to the plea. Not just Tiwari of the Shiv Sena, but also NCP politician and Maharashtra Minister Nawab Malik had questioned the NCB about the star kid’s detention, despite the fact that nothing had been found on him.
