Chandigarh, October 15

Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan Khan on Friday was allowed a 10-minute supervised video call with his family. He also received a money order worth Rs 4,500 from his home to order food and other items from the canteen at Mumbai’s Arthur Road Jail.

This is the maximum amount of money allowed that can be sent to someone in jail.

Aryan is said to have spoke with his father Shah Rukh Khan and mother Gauri Khan via video call from inside Mumbai’s Arthur Road Jail.

The Bombay High Court order stated that prisoners must be allowed to talk to their families once a week.

Aryan Khan and five others arrested in a drug seizure case have been now shifted to general barracks of the Arthur Road prison here as their quarantine period was over, an official said on Thursday.

Aryan (23), arrested by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) on October 3 from a cruise ship off the Mumbai coast, will have to remain in jail for at least six more days, as a special court earlier in the day posted his and two others’ bail pleas for orders on October 20.

They had been shifted to the Arthur Road prison in central Mumbai after their initial custodial remand with the NCB got over and a magistrate sent them in judicial custody but denied them bail.

Based on a tip-off that a rave party was scheduled on the ship, an NCB team raided the Goa-bound Cordelia cruise on October 2 evening and allegedly seized drugs. Several persons including Aryan Khan, Arbaaz Merchant and Munmun Dhamecha were arrested.  With inputs from agencies
