Senior NCP leader Nawab Malik on Thursday doubled down on allegations that a BJP office-bearer and a private investigator were privy to and participated in the Narcotics Control Bureau’s raid on a cruise ship off the Mumbai coast this week.

Aryan Khan was one of eight people arrested after the NCB’s raid on the cruise ship, but no drugs have been recovered from his possession. The Narcotics Control Bureau’s custody of superstar Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan Khan ends today. Senior counsel Satish Maneshinde, who represents the 23-year-old, is expected to make another application for bail.
