In an affidavit filed before a vacation bench of the court, the CBI said Aryan Khan and his friend Arbaaz Merchant were named as accused in the 2021 Cordelia cruise drug bust case at last moment by the Wankhede-led team.
The affidavit also says that the petitioner (Sameer Wankhede) made a "mountain out of molehill in the case" after arresting Aryan.
Aryan was arrested by the NCB on October 3, 2021, following the alleged drug seizure on board the cruise ship. He was granted bail by the high court three weeks later as the anti-drugs agency failed to substantiate its charges against him. (UNI)
