The Special Investigation Team (SIT) of Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) gets 60 days extension to file charge sheet in the Cordelia cruise drug case involving Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan's son Aryan Khan.


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.


So far 19 people are arrested in this case. After a series of allegations against the NCB Zonal Director Sameer Wankhede, the case was transferred to SIT headed by DDG Sanjay Singh of NCB.


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.

The NCB had seized 13 grams of cocaine, 5 grams of mephedrone, 21 grams of charas and 22 MDMA/Ecstasy pills during the raid on the Cordelia cruise from Mumbai to Goa.
