Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) team Shahrukh KhanMumbai house “Mannat” created a sensation today, hours later the superstar visited his son Aryan Khan in jail.

But the Anti-Drugs Bureau said it was “not a raid” and it was only for paperwork.

NCB said the team visited Shah Rukh Khan’s Mannat for “certain material relating to the investigation of the case” after serving a notice to Shah Rukh Khan.

“It was not a raid as was wrongly reported in some sections of the media,” NCB officer Sameer Wankhede said in a statement.

Speculation intensified when officials visited Shahrukh’s house, another team from the anti-drug agency raided his house actress ananya pandey.

Shah Rukh Khan went to Mumbai’s Arthur Road Jail to meet his son Aryan for the first time since his arrest following a drug raid on a rave party on a cruise ship on October 2.

Aryan Khan, 23, who has been in jail for 14 days, bail was denied Yesterday by a special court in Mumbai. He has now approached the Bombay High Court, which will hear his request on Tuesday.

Shahrukh spent about 20 minutes in jail and left without saying anything to the media, before driving the bus with folded hands.

Shah Rukh and Gauri Khan had spoken to their son on a video call last Friday.

A special court yesterday refused bail to Aryan Khan saying that his whatsapp chat Appeared to reveal his involvement in “illegal drug activities”.

The order said, “Prima facie it appears from the WhatsApp chat that accused Aryan Khan is regularly involved in illegal drug activities for the sake of narcotics. Therefore, it cannot be said that Khan was on bail while he was on bail.” There is no likelihood of committing a similar offence.”

The court also noted that the material placed on record points to an “alliance” between Aryan Khan and the suppliers and peddlers.

Court said that although no intoxicant was found with Aryan Khan, he knew about six grams of charas hidden in his friend Arbaaz Merchant shoe And it amounted to “conscious possession”.

“Accused 1 and 2 are friends for a long time. They traveled together and were caught together at the international cruise terminal. Further, in their voluntary statements, both disclosed that they possessed the said substance for their own consumption and enjoyment. Thus, all this suggests that Aryan Khan was aware of the banned substance concealed by the two men in his shoes.”

While stars like Salman Khan and Hrithik Roshan and director Farah Khan have come out in support of Shah Rukh and his son, the film industry has been largely silent in its response to the matter.
