“Former Attorney General Mukul Rohatgi, who landed in Mumbai on Monday, will appear for Aryan Khan as the Bombay High Court hears his bail plea in the Mumbai cruise drug bust case. Along with Rohatgi, senior advocates Ruby Singh Ahuja and Sandeep Kapur, partners of Karanjawala and Co, will also appear for the 23-year-old son of Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan. Kapur is known for handling the case of Avantha Group promoter Gautam Thapar. The new team adds to the existing legal counsel comprising Amit Desai, Satish Manshinde, Anandini Fernandes and Rustom Mulla, Karanjawala and Co said in a statement. SRK’s son had approached the HC for an urgent bail hearing after a special court under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act denied his plea on October 20, and later extended his judicial custody till October 30. A report in a national daily stated that Aryan’s bail plea has been listed at serial number 57 and that of Arbaaz Merchant has been listed at serial number 64. The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) will oppose the bail of all accused in the case, including Aryan Khan, in the high court.
