Mumbai: A day after they were sent to judicial custody, Aryan Khan, son of megastar Shah Rukh Khan, and seven co-accused in the rave party raids, were sent to the Arthur Road Central Jail, here Friday afternoon.
The two women accused – Munmun Dhamecha and Nupur Sarika – were sent to the Byculla Women’s Jail, and the others – Arbaaz Merchant, Vikrant Chhoker, Ismeet Singh, Mohak Jaswal, and Gomit Chopra were sent to the ARCJ, along with Aryan Khan.
Since their arrest October 3 – a day after their detention following the rave party raid aboard the Cordelia Cruise ship – they were kept for six nights in the NCB lockup in the central agency’s custody, in south Mumbai till they were sent to judicial custody Thursday by Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate R. M. Nerlikar.
They will remain in the respective jails till they are granted bail, even as their lawyers and the Narcotics Control Bureau advocates were engaged in a fierce legal battle over this.
This morning, all the eight accused youngsters underwent a medical test at the Sir J.J. Hospital, before they were taken to the jails by the NCB under tight security.
