The NCB is required to file a chargesheet in a case within 180 days of the FIR. While the deadline to file the chargesheet in this case was till April 2, due to an incomplete investigation, SIT sought a further extension.

Aryan Khan, along with his friends Munmun Dhamecha and Arbaaz Merchant, were arrested by the NCB following a raid at Mumbai's International Cruise Terminal on October 3, 2021.
