“Aryan Khan was invited to the cruise as a spl guest. He was invited by one Pratik Gaba. Aryan & Arbaz Merchant both were invited by same person. They both landed up together at cruise terminal”, he added.
Mukul Rohatgi further said, “One more thing put against Aryan are WhatsApp chats of 2018, 2019 & 2020. These chats are not related to Cruise case. Cruise case started with Gaba (Pratik Gaba) & ended there. There is no connection between the chats and present case of Cruise”.

Meanwhile, big chaos was witnessed outside the courtroom which interrupted the court hearing.
Justice Sambre gave instructions to court staff to look into the matter. Later, the court was informed by a lawyer that the subordinates of the lawyers in the courtroom want entry into the courtroom.
A special court in Mumbai on Wednesday refused to grant bail to Aryan and two others in connection with the seizure of drugs. Following this, Aryan Khan moved a bail application in the Bombay High Court against the NDPS court order on his bail rejection.
Bombay High Court on October 21 said that it would hear Aryan Khan’s bail application on October 26.
