On June 30, Ayran Khan moved an application before the special court hearing cases related to the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act through his lawyers, seeking the return of his passport, citing the charge sheet that did not name him.
The NCB in its response to the actor's plea said it has no objection to returning his passport. The special court judge, V V Patil, then allowed Aryan's plea to take his passport back.
Aryan Khan was arrested by the NCB on October 3 last year, following a raid on a cruise ship off the coast of Mumbai. He had spent over 20 days in prison before being granted bail by the Bombay High Court.
