Aryan Khan had been in news last year when he was arrested by anti-drug agency Narcotics Control Bureau on October 3, 2021 following a late-night raid on a cruise ship that was en route to Goa. Along with Khan, seven others including Arbaaz Merchant and Munmun Dhamecha were also arrested by the NCB
The drugs bust on the cruise ship led to the recovery of 13 grams of cocaine, 5 grams of MD (mephedrone), 21 grams of charas (small quantity), 22 pills of MDMA (ecstasy) (intermediate quantity), and Rs 1,33,000 from the accused at International Cruise Terminal, Mumbai. Khan was granted bail on October 28, 2021.
The viral video shows a seemingly inebriated person in an airport terminal being confronted by airport staff. Moments later, the man starts urinating in the lounge area before a security personnel pins him to the ground.
A Facebook post sharing the video wrote 'Aryan Khan at us airport . Shahrukh Khan launched Anti drug Movement from USA'.
