NCB’s ultimate target was to raid Shahrukh Khan’s home Mannat, question SRK in drugs case?

MUMBAI: In the Aryan Khan arrest case, the Narcotics Control Bureau’s (NCB) ultimate goal or target was to raid and conduct searches at Shah Rukh Khan’s residence Mannat, at Bandra in Mumbai, interrogate him at his residence, as well as summon him to the NCB office to record his statement. But maybe this did not work out as per plan, because Aryan Khan stuck to his guns and didn’t drag his father’s name into his mess.

According to sources in the know, the NCB officials and others (like the spot witnesses Kiran Gosavi and Manish Bhanushali), who participated (albeit illegally) in the interrogation of SRK’s son Aryan Khan while in NCB custody, and desperately tried to get Aryan to mention SRK’s name during interrogation.

They kept asking Aryan if his father was knowing about his drug habit. They wanted to know if he brought drugs or did drugs at home or if any drugs were stored at his residence. Or if his father or mother had ever caught him doing drugs, or coming home high after a party.

In spite of the severe grilling and interrogation, Aryan’s answer to these questions was a big NO, which definitely saved SRK a lot of further embarrassment. ALSO READ: NCB witness K P Gosavi used different addresses on different panchnamas, most probably fake

Fortunately for SRK, Aryan Khan completely denied ever having consumed drugs at his home and in spite of severe grilling and interrogation, stuck to his guns that his father and his siblings (or for that matter, anyone else in his family, including the managers, drivers and security staff) did not have any idea about his drug habit.
