Arbaaz Merchant’s father on drug case: ‘Could see the fright on his face, worried about my son’s safety’

Businessman Aslam Merchant lately spoke to ETimes about how he has been unable to talk along with his son Arbaaz Merchant correctly ever since he, together with famous person Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan Khan, have been arrested by the Narcotics Control Bureau on October 3 in an alleged drug bust on a cruise ship.
Stating that he’s involved about his son’s safety, Aslam stated, “I wanted to speak to Arbaaz after the hearing and have been trying to get a chance to speak to him but to no avail. I also went to Khar police station which is near my house to register my phone number so that I get a chance to speak to my son, whose security is a big concern now because, as mentioned in the newspapers, he has been shifted to a general barrack of the jail.”

Further including that he has solely been in a position to discuss to his son for 3 minutes for the reason that previous week, the businessman stated, “I really don’t know how my son is and I don’t know what is happening inside the jail. I don’t even know who is he staying with in the barrack and what kind of people are around him. Besides, when I did get a chance to speak on video call last week, for just three minutes, I could see the fright on his face. I could feel his voice choking when he pleaded to me, ‘Pappa get us out of here, we are innocent.’ His choked voice and fright has scared me and I am worried about my son’s security.”
“I cannot see my son that way and you can understand the state of parents and plight of an innocent child when he is being treated that way. They could have been bailed out with the cooperation of the agency. It is unfair to treat boys of such delicate age this way,” Aslam concluded.

Arbaaz Merchant goes to maneuver the excessive courtroom at present for a bail.
