Despite the brouhaha over Ananya Panday’s grilling by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB), official sources hinted today that there is apparently no evidence of any ‘drug-related exchanges’ in her alleged WhatsApp chats with Aryan Khan, the son of Bollywood megastar Shah Rukh Khan.<\/p>\n
The sources reluctantly divulged that there are ‘no traces or references’ of any Marijuana (Ganja) or weed-related chat in the two star-kids’ WhatsApp communication being scanned in-depth by the NCB.<\/p>\n
More likely, Ananya is being questioned for her version by the NCB for some different leads it has collected in the case, but the officials decline to elaborate.<\/p>\n
The latest disclosure comes in the wake of certain unconfirmed media reports claiming the emergence of at least three purported WhatsApp chats between the two star-kids allegedly discussing drugs, etc. which the NCB was probing now.<\/p>\n
In a surprise addition to the ongoing investigations into the October 2 rave party raid aboard a cruise ship, the NCB ‘visited’ the home of Ananya Panday and slapped her with a summons.<\/p>\n
Acting promptly yesterday, accompanied by her father and veteran actor Chunky Panday, Ananya went to the NCB and was questioned for over 2 hours by half a dozen officials, and was summoned again today.<\/p>\n
The developments came even as a Special NDPS Court Judge V.V. Patil extended the judicial custody of Khan and 7 others arrested on October 3, till October 30. Khan’s bail plea will come up before the Bombay High Court on October 26.<\/p>\n
Earlier yesterday, Shah Rukh Khan had made a high-glare visit to son Aryan in the Arthur Road Central Jail where he spent a few minutes with him, and later an NCB team ‘visited’ his Bandra bungalow, setting tongues wagging.<\/p>\n
This prompted the veteran Bollywood actress and TV hostess Simi Garewal, 75, to come out in indirect support of Aryan, Ananya and others vide a cryptic tweet: “In a population of 1,397,642,731 \u2013 they can only find these 6 or 8 young Bollywood stars to target for drugs??”<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, after nabbing at least 20 people till date in the cruise ship raid case, the NCB has not ruled out making further arrests as the investigations widen and progress.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
