Several NCB teams conducted raids in the Andheri area of Mumbai, acting on a lead from one of the accused in the Mumbai cruise drugs bust case.

One team arrived at Shah Rukh Khan's house hours after he visited his son Aryan Khan, lodged at the Arthur Road Jail on Thursday.  Aryan Khan is one of the accused arrested aboard a Goa-bound luxury cruise ship off the coast of Mumbai by the NCB.

The Bombay High Court (HC) on Thursday said it would hear on October 26 the bail plea filed by Aryan Khan in connection with the case. Aryan Khan's advocate Satish Maneshinde mentioned the plea before a single bench of Justice NW Sambre, seeking urgent hearing on Friday.

Additional Solicitor General Anil Singh, appearing for the NCB, however, sought time till next week. Justice Sambre then posted the plea for hearing for October 26.

Aryan Khan (23) moved the High Court on Wednesday evening after a special NDPS court here rejected his bail plea in the afternoon. The special court, while refusing bail, had observed that Aryan was involved in "illicit drug activities on a regular basis" and had a nexus with drug peddlers and suppliers. 

The lower court had also rejected the bail pleas of Aryan Khan's friend Arbaaz Merchant and fashion model Munmun Dhamecha.

They are now in judicial custody. While Aryan and Merchant are lodged at the Arthur Road prison, Dhamecha is lodged at the Byculla women's prison in the city.

The trio and others were held in the case for alleged conspiracy, possession, consumption, purchase and trafficking of drugs under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act.
