Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) has summoned the film producer Imtiaz Khatri in connection with the drugs-on-cruise case and asked him to appear before the agency on October 11.

Earlier in the day, raids were conducted at Khatri's residence and office in Mumbai's Bandra area, after which he was summoned to appear before the agency at 11 am. After nearly eight hours of questioning, the agency again summoned him to appear before it on October 11. The NCB also questioned the driver of actor Shah Rukh Khan, who was arrested in connection with a drug seizure on a cruise ship off the Mumbai coast.

The narcotics control agency arrested a drug peddler following questioning in the drugs-on-cruise case, taking the number of total arrests in the case to 19. A Mumbai Magistrate court on October 7 sent Aryan Khan and seven others to judicial custody for 14 days. The bail plea of Aryan Khan, who was arrested on October 3, was denied by the court on October 8.

An NCB team busted an alleged drugs party on the Cordelia Cruise ship which was on its way to Goa at mid-sea on October 2.
