This video goes deep into the details of the infamous Aryan Khan case. What actually happened on the day of the NCB raid on the cruise ship? Why has it not been easy to get bail for Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan Khan and his other friends like Arbaaz Merchant. What reasoning did Mumbai magistrate court use when denying the bail?

00:00Hello, friends.
00:01Let's understand Aryan Khan's case in detail.
00:03What is this case that the media has been talking about?
00:07And why is it being called politically motivated by some people?
00:11You've got a BJP worker.
00:13BJP party members.
00:15The NCB and BJP are linked.
00:17Do you think that this raises doubts over the nature of these raids?
00:22Let's find out.
00:28On the 2nd of October,
00:30the Narcotics Control Bureau,
00:32a team from the NCB,
00:34raided a cruise ship
00:36where a party was going on.
00:38The cruise ship's name was Empress Ship.
00:40And the company's name was Cordelia Cruises.
00:42It was reported that
00:44a lot of banned drugs were being used in this party.
00:46And in this seizure,
00:48a lot of banned drugs were recovered.
00:505g of Cocaine, 21g of Charas,
00:5222 pills of MDMA.
00:54And 1.33 lakh cash was also recovered.
00:56During this raid,
00:58the NCB detained a few people.
01:00Nupur Sakhira, Ismeet Singh, Mohak Jaswal,
01:02Vikrant Chokhar, Gomit Chopra, Munmun,
01:04Arbaaz Merchant and Aryan Khan.
01:06On the 2nd of Sunday,
01:08Munmun, Arbaaz and Aryan were arrested.
01:12And they were presented in front of a special court.
01:15In the hearing of this court,
01:17the NCB lawyer said that
01:19these are bailable offences.
01:21But because some illegal material
01:23has been found in this seizure
01:25and the WhatsApp chats have been recovered,
01:27the three people who have been arrested
01:29should be kept in custody for two days
01:31so that they can be helped in the investigation.
01:33On the other hand, Aryan Khan's defence lawyer
01:35argued that Aryan had neither
01:37any drugs nor was there any allegation
01:39that he had consumed any drugs.
01:41So, Aryan should not be arrested.
01:43But,
01:45because the NCB wants to conduct its investigation,
01:47they will agree for a day's custody.
01:50They said, okay,
01:52Aryan agrees for a day's custody.
01:54Hearing the arguments on both sides,
01:56the court also said, okay,
01:58Aryan Khan will be in the NCB's custody for a day.
02:00Till October 4th.
02:02Apart from this, 5 more accused people
02:04were arrested by the NCB
02:06on the same evening.
02:08So, in total, 8 accused people were arrested.
02:10Aryan, Munmun, Arbaaz and these 5 people.
02:13The next day, they were presented in the court.
02:15In the hearing of this court,
02:17the NCB argues that they recovered
02:19the WhatsApp chats of Munmun, Arbaaz and Aryan.
02:21And they found shocking
02:23and incriminating material
02:25in these WhatsApp chats.
02:27It shows that international drug trafficking
02:29is taking place here.
02:31The NCB also said that
02:33they have arrested a supplier in Juhu.
02:35And the supplier has a large quantity
02:37of drugs.
02:39A commercial quantity.
02:41On the basis of this reason,
02:43the NCB argues that
02:45their custody should be extended
02:47till October 11th.
02:49But the court gives a judgement
02:51that they will extend the custody
02:53but not till October 11th,
02:55but till October 7th.
02:57So all these 8 accused people
02:59were in custody till October 7th.
03:01On the other hand,
03:03the CEO of Cordelia Cruises
03:05issued a statement
03:07that they have nothing to do
03:09with this case or incident.
03:11Because Cordelia Cruises
03:13had chartered this ship
03:15for a private event.
03:17For a Delhi-based event management company.
03:19They say that they will help
03:21the NCB in the investigation.
03:23Later, the NCB summons the CEO
03:25and asks him to help
03:27in the investigation.
03:29The NCB asks for a list
03:31of all the passengers
03:33and CCTV footage.
03:35The Delhi-based event management company
03:37got trapped in all this.
03:39On October 7th, 4 employees
03:41of this company are arrested.
03:43Manav Singhal, Bhaskar Arora
03:45and additional directors Samir Sehgal
03:47and Gopalji Anand.
03:493 more people have run away.
03:51By October 7th,
03:5317 people had been arrested.
03:55On October 7th, the court says
03:57that there will be no more NCB custody
03:59for Aryan Khan, Arbaaz Merchant
04:01and Munmun Dhamecha.
04:03On October 8th,
04:05a bail application hearing is held.
04:07Surprisingly,
04:09Aryan Khan does not get a bail
04:11even in the October 8th hearing.
04:13The reason is a technical one.
04:15The Mumbai Magistrate Court says
04:17that the bail application was not maintainable
04:19so it was rejected.
04:21It means that the hearing was held in the wrong court.
04:23They say that if they wanted to argue
04:25about the bail,
04:27they should've done it in the Special Court
04:29for NDPS Matters.
04:31This court didn't have the jurisdiction.
04:33You can call this a lawyer's mistake
04:35but the end result is that
04:37Aryan Khan is still in jail
04:39without any proof that he took any drugs
04:41or that he had any drugs
04:43or had any drug possession.
04:45All the accused have been put
04:47in Judicial Custody.
04:49For the next hearing,
04:51they'll have to go to the Special Court
04:53which only hears the matters of NDPS Act 1985.
04:55This can only be done on Mondays
04:57because the courts are closed on weekends.
04:59There's an amazing twist
05:01in this entire case.
05:03When Aryan Khan and Arbaaz Merchant
05:05were being taken to the NCB Mumbai office,
05:07two men were taking them.
05:09All this was captured on video.
05:11And this video went viral.
05:13It turns out that these two men
05:15are private individuals.
05:17They're not NCB officers.
05:19Also, the day this raid happened,
05:21a photo went viral on social media
05:23in which a man
05:25was taking a selfie with Aryan Khan
05:27while smiling.
05:29The NCB clarified that this man
05:31is neither an officer nor an employee.
05:33And this man was one of the two men
05:35who were seen in the viral video.
05:37So the question is, who are these two people
05:39and what are they doing here?
05:41Sharad Pawar's NCB party
05:43alleges that this entire Aryan Khan case
05:45is actually a conspiracy by the BJP
05:47to defame the Maharashtra government
05:49and target the film industry.
05:51Our direct accusation is
05:53that for the past one year,
05:55the Bharatiya Janata Party has been
05:57trying to defame the Maharashtra government,
05:59the BJP, and Bollywood.
06:01It's a conspiracy.
06:03The NCB leader, Nawab Malik,
06:05asks how these two private individuals
06:07ended up in such a high-profile case.
06:09It turns out that the man
06:11who was taking the selfie
06:13is KP Gosavi.
06:15Apparently, according to Gosavi's Facebook profile,
06:17he's a detective who lives in
06:19the capital of Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur.
06:21And he's also the owner of a job placement company.
06:23In 2018, he was booked
06:25by the Pune Police for allegedly
06:27defrauding a man of
06:29₹3.09 lakhs.
06:31Meaning, he had cheated a man
06:33of ₹3 lakhs.
06:35He had promised to get a job in Malaysia
06:37but he didn't.
06:39By Wednesday night, Gosavi's Facebook profile
06:41gets deleted.
06:43Nawab Malik claims to the NCB
06:45that Gosavi's picture was also
06:47in the profile with a senior NCB official.
06:50The other man in the video
06:52is known as Manish Bhanushali
06:54and he's a BJP worker.
06:56In fact, according to his social media feed,
06:58he's on the post of the BJP's
07:00Vice President.
07:02Later, Manish's photos are seen
07:04with Prime Minister Narendra Modi,
07:06Devendra Fadnavis and many other
07:08senior BJP leaders.
07:10So the question is, what was he doing in the raid?
07:13He's a private individual, not a part of the NCB.
07:15So what was he doing in the raid?
07:17Manish doesn't deny that he's a BJP worker.
07:20In fact, while talking to the Indian Express,
07:22he says that he even fought
07:24elections on a BJP ticket.
07:26He said that his friend
07:28overheard someone talking
07:30about this party.
07:32His friend came and told him
07:34on WhatsApp on 1st October.
07:36And he went and told the NCB officials
07:38about this party on 2nd October.
07:40Now the question is, okay,
07:42he must've told the NCB officials about this party.
07:44But what was he doing during the raid?
07:46Why was he present in the raid?
07:48He says that his friends were constantly
07:50updating him about this party.
07:52So that he could give more information
07:54to the NCB officials.
07:56That's why he was present during the raid.
07:58And the NCB officials told him
08:00to come with them.
08:14Then the question arises,
08:16what was he doing in the NCB's office
08:18after the raid was over?
08:20He said, come with us as a witness
08:22and you'll have to sign some documents.
08:24Then the question arises,
08:26okay, he agreed to all this but
08:28this private individual, a BJP worker,
08:30was present during the raid
08:32and after the raid.
08:34But why was he holding the Arbaaz Merchant
08:36and Aryan Khan with his own hands?
08:38He replies that
08:40the footpath was quite narrow
08:42and small
08:44so he instinctively held his hand.
08:46Manish Bhanushali also says
08:48that he doesn't know anything about KP Gosavi.
08:50He doesn't know that person.
08:52But Nawab Malik, the NCB politician,
08:54releases a photo
08:56with them
08:58where they're standing together in informal attire.
09:00He puts a caption on the photo,
09:02Friends, tell me, who is Guru and
09:04who is Guru Ghantal?
09:06He releases two more videos
09:08showing Gosavi and Bhanushali
09:10entering and exiting the NCB's office
09:12on the same night
09:14when the ship was raided.
09:16The NCB officials say that they didn't know
09:18these two men before this incident.
09:20But whatever they did was as per law.
09:22And today, Maharashtra's Minister
09:24Nawab Malik filed another allegation.
09:26He said that the NCB
09:28arrested three more people
09:30who were released.
09:32One of them was Rishabh Sachdev
09:34who was the brother-in-law of BJP leader
09:36Mohit Kambhoj.
09:38He accused the NCB of releasing Rishabh
09:40because BJP leaders
09:42were getting calls from Delhi and Maharashtra.
09:44He also said that
09:46initially, 11 people were detained in the raid
09:48but three people,
09:50Sachdev, Prateek and
09:52Amir Furniturewala were released
09:54by the NCB.
09:56These are the reasons why people say that
09:58Aryan Khan's case is politically motivated.
10:00Private individuals, the members of BJP
10:02were working together with the NCB.
10:04And this is not the first time
10:06that BJP has been accused
10:08of misusing the Central Agencies
10:10for their political purposes.
10:12Just a few days ago,
10:14income tax raids were carried out
10:16on many media organisations
10:18who often question the government.
10:20For example, Dainik Bhaskar Akhbar
10:22who had done a clear-cut reporting
10:24on the COVID cases.
10:26Or News Laundry and Newsclick
10:28who constantly criticize the government.
10:30Apart from this, Mamata Banerjee
10:32alleged that BJP is misusing the Central Agencies
10:34to target the leaders of TMC.
10:36Ever since BJP lost the
10:38West Bengal elections.
10:40In this, Sharad Pawar alleged that
10:42BJP is misusing the State Agencies
10:44to force the opposition leader
10:46to leave the party and join BJP.
10:48Just a few days ago,
10:50Sonu Sood was seen with Arvind Kejriwal
10:52not for any political reason
10:54but to run a country's mentors' program.
10:56And just a few days later,
10:58his income tax raids were carried out
11:00on Sonu Sood as well.
11:02People have raised the question
11:04that if the NCB is actually serious
11:06about the drug problem,
11:08why doesn't it raid places where
11:10the drug problem is very serious?
11:12Like Kasol in Himachal Pradesh,
11:14which is a famous destination for Narco-Tourism.
11:16Even the High Court had asked
11:18the state government in 2017
11:20to take action on these places.
11:22And our media,
11:24which is so excited about drugs
11:26but never talks about solutions
11:28to deal with this problem
11:30on a large scale.
11:32This story has become very repetitive
11:34that a few high-profile celebrities are caught.
11:36Apparently, in such a party,
11:38a few grams of drugs are found
11:40and a huge ruckus is created.
11:42But if we really want to deal
11:44with the drug problem,
11:46is it a solution to put the end consumer in jail
11:48and villainize them?
11:50Or to catch the suppliers
11:52and end the supply chain of drugs?
11:54Many countries have used
11:56very interesting solutions
11:58to deal with the drug problem.
12:00Portugal, for example, has decided
12:02to decriminalize all drugs.
12:04So that the people who are consuming drugs
12:06are not seen as criminals
12:08but as patients.
12:10They are seen as addicts who need treatment.
12:12They don't have to be sent to jail
12:14but to the hospital so that they can be treated.
12:16Jail should be sent to those gangsters
12:18and drug suppliers
12:20who are running the drug industry here.
12:22Not those who consume a few grams of drugs
12:24and end up on the chain.
12:26Although, it is a matter of discussion
12:28whether this solution will be right for India or not.
12:30If Shahrukh Khan is being politically targeted
12:32by the BJP,
12:34it won't be the first time that this is being done.
12:36There have been many incidents
12:38where BJP leaders
12:40have shown their hatred against Shahrukh Khan.
12:42For example, BJP politician Prachi
12:44once said that Shahrukh Khan is a Pakistani agent.
12:54Kailash Vijaywaria once compared
12:56Shahrukh Khan to Dawood Ibrahim.
12:58And Adityanath,
13:00who has become the Chief Minister of UP,
13:02compared Shahrukh Khan to Hafiz Saeed.
13:04These things have been seen
13:06over the years in the past few years.
13:08So this hatred against Shahrukh Khan
13:10by the BJP leaders can be said
13:12to be a legit point
13:14as to why this political raid is being done.
