NCB sources claim that the 23-year old broke down during the investigation and revealed that he had been doing drugs for over four years. However, his lawyer Satish Maneshinde maintains that Khan had no part in the drug situation that was going on at the party and that he had been arrested on the basis of text messages. He said, “Aryan had no ticket, no cabin or seat onboard the cruise. He was there because he had been invited. He didn’t even have a boarding pass. Nothing has been found on him. He was arrested on the basis of chat only.”
