The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) has sent multiple teams to Shah Rukh Khan’s Bandra home, ‘Mannat,’ as well as actor Ananya Panday’s home. On Thursday, NCB teams raided the Andheri neighbourhood of Mumbai, relying on a tip from one of the defendants in the Mumbai cruise narcotics bust case.
An NCB crew arrived to the home of Ananya Panday and Chunky Panday in Khar West, Mumbai. The NCB has summoned Ananya Panday today.
On Thursday, an NCB team arrived at Shah Rukh Khan’s home, ‘Mannat,’ hours after he paid a visit to his son Aryan Khan in the Arthur Road jail. Aryan Khan is one of the people arrested in connection with the Mumbai cruise cocaine operation. The visit was to issue a formal notice that if Aryan Khan has any further electronic equipment, they must be handed over to the NCB for inquiry, according to an NCB official who was part of the team that went to SRK’s residence.
His bail application was denied by a Mumbai special court on Wednesday. On October 3, Aryan Khan and eight others were apprehended and later arrested after the NCB stormed the Cordelia cruise ship off the coast of Mumbai. Aryan Khan then applied to the Bombay High Court for bail. The high court has scheduled a hearing on the bail application on October 26. Satish Maneshinde, Aryan Khan’s lawyer, presented the case to a single bench of Justice N W Sambre on Friday, requesting an immediate hearing.

However, arguing for the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB), Additional Solicitor General Anil Singh requested a postponement until next week. The petition was then scheduled for hearing on October 26 by Justice Sambre. On that day, the HC will also hear co-accused Munmun Dhamecha’s bail application.
