Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan's son Aryan Khan's bail has been rejected. Besides Aryan, the bail applications of co-accused Arbaaz Merchant and Munmun Dhamecha were rejected as well. After the major setback, Aryan Khan's legal team will now move the Bombay High Court to seek bail for the star kid.

The Special Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) court pronounced the verdict today at 2:45 pm after it had reserved the order on Aryan's bail plea on October 14. Aryan Khan was lodged at the Arthur Road Jail in Mumbai for his alleged involvement in an illegal drugs case and will stay there until the next hearing in the case.

The bail application of Aryan Khan was presented before Additional Session Judge VV Patil of special NDPS court in courtroom number 44, Mumbai city civil and sessions court. 

Earlier today, ahead of the bail plea hearing, the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) had submitted Aryan Khan's WhatApp chats to the court that involved the star-kid talking to an upcoming actress in which the two are allegedly discussing drugs.

For the unversed, a Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) team busted an alleged drugs party on the cruise ship which was on its way to Goa on October 2. After interrogation, Aryan Khan and seven other co-accused were arrested and remanded to NCB custody for their alleged involvement in an illegal drugs case. Later, Aryan and others were sent to 14 days judicial custody and were lodged at the Arthur Road Jail.
