Mumbai: Bollywood star Shahrukh Khan hired Salman Khan’s lawyer Amit Desai, who had represented him infamous 2002 hit-and-run case, to represent son Aryan Khan in the Mumbai cruise drugs case.
Desai had also represented Salman for his bail hearing in 2015.
Amit appeared for Aryan Khan in court on Monday. After being served notice for the bail plea, Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) counsel told the court that the agency needs at least a week’s time to file replies as there are multiple bail pleas pending in the drugs case. Defending Aryan, Amit Desai said, “The man is already inside the prison for a week. Bail hearing does not have to depend on investigation. I am not arguing bail, I am only arguing for a date.”
The court then set Aryan Khan’s bail plea hearing for 2:45 pm on Wednesday, October 13. The NCB has been directed by Judge VV Patil to file its reply by Wednesday.
