Ananya Panday was summoned for questioning by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) today, and Bollywood actor Chunky Pandey joined her. The NCB summoned the actress for questioning in connection with the Aryan Khan drugs case after executing a brief search operation at her Bandra apartment this afternoon.
According to sources, the NCB retrieved WhatsApp talks between Aryan Khan and Ananya Panday, and raids were carried out shortly after. When Chunky and Ananya Panday left their house to go to the NCB office, a large crowd gathered outside their house and hounded the car, hoping to see the young star.

In the meantime, NCB officials arrived at Shah Rukh Khan’s Mannat bungalow today to finalise some paperwork. He had gone to Arthur Road Jail earlier today to meet his son Aryan Khan.
The Bombay High Court has agreed to hear Aryan Khan’s bail request in the drugs case on October 26, 2021, which means he will have to stay in Mumbai’s Arthur Road Jail for at least another 5 days. The bail applications of Aryan, Arbaaz Merchant and Munmun Dhamecha were denied by Mumbai’s Special NDPS Court on Wednesday, October 20.
