When will Aryan Khan get bail? When will Aryan Khan be released? When will Aryan Khan be free?

MUMBAI: In what may seem to be a big disappointment for Shah Rukh Khan fans as well as for Gauri Khan, SRK’S eldest son Aryan Khan is unlikely to get bail today, as there are at least 3-4 bail applications to be dealt with by the Special NDPS Court and the NCB will insist on all the bail applications of the accused to be heard and argued together. The NCB is opposing tooth and nail, the segregation of Aryan Khan’s case and wants all those arrested accused from the cruise ship matter to be clubbed together and heard as one.

Additionally, there is a long weekend holiday, as Dussehra is on Friday, 15th October and the courts are likely to be closed on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

The Narcotics Control Bureau is against singling out and separating Aryan Khan and his individual case, as that would give him a big benefit and advantage, not just for bail, but even during trial. The other accused were nabbed with larger quantities of drugs and it makes it difficult for them to get bail easily.

As long as Aryan Khan’s case is clubbed with the other 3-4 accused, basically his friends who were also caught red-handed along with him, but in clear possession of larger quantities of drugs, it becomes more difficult for Aryan to secure bail and this is exactly what the NCB wants.

By the time, the arguments and counter arguments of all 3-4 accused are completed, it will take at least 3 to 4 working days. Then the court will dictate the orders. Put all this together and it would need 6 to 7 working days. It also depends on how busy the courts are and how many other matters are listed on board. It depends, if the court takes a humane and lenient view as most accused are first time offenders, they could be out by next Monday or Tuesday at the earliest.

However, if the court is prosecution-oriented and takes up a harsh or strict stance, Aryan Khan could be behind bars at the Arthur Road for a good 10 to 15 days.

There is also a remote possibility that the NDPS court could reject his bail, forcing Shahrukh Khan to move the Bombay High Court to secure bail for his son. This process could take a good 20 days and with the Diwali vacations coming up, Aryan Khan may have to spend both Dussehra and Diwali behind bars. At the earliest, Aryan Khan could be free and out of jail within 5 to 7 days, or the worst would mean 20 to 25 days. It all depends on the evidence and arguments presented by the NCB and the view taken by the courts – lenient or strict. It also depends on further developments in the next few days. If the NCB are able to nab any big fish and link it/them to Aryan Khan, he could be a goner for months.
