NewDelhi: The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) on Friday exonerated Aryan Khan, son of actor Shah Rukh Khan, and five others as it filed a charge sheet against 14 persons in the case related to the raid on the yacht Cordelia in Mumbai on October 2.
HT exclusively reported on March 2 that the central agency had not found any evidence which suggests that Aryan Khan was part of a drugs conspiracy or an international drugs trafficking syndicate.
The raids came under the scanner after allegations surfaced that Aryan Khan may have been implicated in the case and attempts to extort money were made.
A Special Investigation Team (SIT) headed by Sanjay Kumar Singh relooked into the whole case and has found that there is not enough evidence to pursue the case.
“SIT carried out its investigation in [an] objective manner. The touchstone of the principle of proof beyond reasonable doubt has been applied. Based on the investigation carried out by SIT, a complaint [charge sheet] has been filed against 14 persons under various sections of NDPS [Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances] Act. Complaint against rest six persons is not being filed due to lack of sufficient evidence,” NCB said in a statement.
