Actor Ananya Panday appeared before the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) at its Mumbai office after being summoned by the agency in connection with the drugs case involving Aryan Khan. She was called in for questioning last week, and will be called in again this week. Actor Ishaan Khatter went to her house over the weekend to meet her.
Both the actors worked in the movie ‘Khaali Peeli’, and are rumoured to be dating, but have not commented publicly on the relationship. Ananya was the latest to join the investigation after Khan’s arrest. The NCB last week went to Ananya’s residence and Shah Rukh Khan’s residence Mannat. It is learnt that NCB officials met Ananya and asked her to join the probe.
Ananya was questioned for nearly four hours last week, and again on Friday last. The NCB has claimed to have fond chats between Aryan and Ananya related to drugs. Deputy DG (NCB) Mutha Ashok Jain said she has been summoned again and the agency has taken her mobile phone. She was reportedly asked to interpret and give context to some of her chats with Aryan.
Shah Rukh visited Arthur Road jail to visit son Aryan last week. Aryan’s bail plea was rejected by a special NDPS court in connection with the cruise ship drug case. The Bombay High Court will hear the bail plea of Aryan this week.
